THE TRADITIONCONTINUES

A STORIED PAST

1

Belmont Basketball has earned postseason tournament invitations five of the past six years, including trips to the NCAA Tournament in 2006, 2007, and 2008.

The Bruins played at Austin Peay in the 2004 Postseason NIT.

Belmont took on storied UCLA in the 2006 NCAA Tournament at Cox Arena in San Diego, Calif. Dubbed as the ‘Battle of the Bruins,’ Belmont led much of the first half before falling to the eventual National-Runner Up.

Belmont faced Big East Champion Georgetown in the 2007 NCAA Tournament at LJVM Coliseum in Winston-Salem, N.C. The Bruins held their own against future NBA first-round picks Jeff Green and Roy Hibbert.

Belmont took on three-time National Champion Duke in the 2008 NCAA Tournament at Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. With Alex Renfroe and Andy Wicke rising to the occasion on college basketball’s grandest stage, the Bruins cemented their place in March Madness lore. Though Gerald Henderson’s driving layin allowed the Blue Devils to escape with a 71-70 victory, Belmont received universal praise for its spirited play and sportsmanship. Afterwards, Duke Hall of Fame head coach Mike Krzyzewski commended the Belmont program and called the epic game one of the most pressure-filled of his entire career.

Belmont played in the 2009 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, burying a season-high 17 three-point field goals in winning at Missouri Valley Conference stalwart Evansville.2

NCAA TOURNAMENTS/POSTSEASON PLAY

POSTGAME QUOTES2008 NCAA TOURNAMENT, BELMONT VS. DUKE

I’m not that worried about Duke and I’ll tell you why; I think Belmont would have given most anybody in the country trouble the way they played tonight. Moving without the basketball and playing together; Belmont played the game of basketball very, very well tonight.

Bob KnightWinningest D-I College Basketball Coach in NCAA HistoryESPN College Basketball AnalystBasketball Hall of Famer

It tells you everything you need to know about this NCAA first-rounder that after the game, Belmont wasn’t sad or depressed about missing the upset. The Bruins were flat-out angry that they let one slip away. And they should be. Belmont was the tougher team. Belmont took it to Duke, sometimes right down the gut or on slippery backdoors. The Bruins schooled and exposed the Blue Devils’ defense, and they put a searchlight on all the warts and worries that have dogged Duke all season. Put simply, the Devils and all their ACC heft and national titles and mystique and aura and NCAA tradition couldn’t guard the Bruins.

Dana O’NeilESPN.com

They were smarter, they were better coached and they were more poised. They acted as if they had been here before, and they had. But it wasn’t his speed that almost beat the Blue Devils. It was backdoor cuts; Belmont beat them with backdoor cuts on consecutive plays in the first half. The play is as old as dust, as old as Neil Diamond. Belmont ran plays that Princeton long ago made famous. If Duke is the Harvard of North Carolina, Belmont is the Princeton of Tennessee.

Belmont Basketball has won five conference championships (three tournament, two regular season) since 2006.

In 2008, Belmont Basketball became the first school in Atlantic Sun Conference history to win three consecutive conference tournament championships. The Bruins won all three championships away from home.

Belmont Basketball won Atlantic Sun Conference Regular Season Championships in 2006 and 2008.

During its tradition-rich NAIA era, Belmont Basketball won numerous conference and district championships. Coach Byrd led the Bruins to back-to-back NAIA Final Fours in 1995 and 1996. The 1995 Bruins won 28 straight games and were ranked No. 1 in the nation.

DECEMBER 30, 2003Belmont Basketball scored the biggest victory in program history, knocking off perennial Big 12 Conference power and 22nd-ranked Missouri, 71-67, at the Hearnes Center in Columbia, Mo. Steve Drabyn led four Bruins in double figures with 16 points. The Bruins hit 13 three-point field goals and used a 17-3 run early in the second half to seize control. It was the Bruins’ first victory over a Top-25 opponent. Missouri would have five members of its roster go on to play in the NBA.

NOVEMBER 9, 2007Belmont Basketball opened its historic 2007-08 campaign with a convincing 86-75 victory at Big East Conference stalwart Cincinnati. With NBA legend and former Cincinnati All-American Oscar Robertson on hand, the Bruins showcased their outside shooting prowess and unselfish, uptempo play in controlling the Bearcats throughout. Justin Hare scored a game-high 23 points, while eventual All-American Alex Renfroe would score 13 points off the bench in his collegiate debut.

SIGNATURE VICTORIES

NOVEMBER 19, 2007 A week and a half after its win at Cincinnati, Belmont Basketball recorded another monumental victory over major conference opposition, defeating ultra-talented Alabama of the Southeastern Conference, 85-83, at Coleman Coliseum in Tuscaloosa, Ala. The Bruins shot 53 percent in the first half in racing out to a 50-44 halftime lead. Justin Hare’s pullup jumpshot with 2.2 seconds remaining proved to be the game-winner. Belmont became just the second mid-major program to win at Alabama since 1996.

Belmont has the longest tenured coaching staff in NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball

Head Coach Rick Byrd, Associate Head Coach Casey Alexander, Assistant Coach Brian Ayers and Assistant Coach Roger Idstrom have been together 10 years.

With 561 career victories, Coach Byrd ranks first among all head coaches in the state of Tennessee and the Atlantic Sun Conference. Byrd is 11th among all active NCAA Division I head coaches in career wins.

As part of the 2009-10 Athlon Sports College Basketball Preview Edition, Rick Byrd was chosen as one of the ‘Top 10 Under the Radar Coaches’ in America.

COACHING CONTINUITY

Belmont is an excellent team, and it all starts with Coach Byrd. I think when we scheduled our game people kind of thought we were crazy for wanting to play such a good non-conference team.

Jamie DixonPittsburgh Head Coach

For those in the know, those in the coaching community, this is no surprise. Rick Byrd is an outstanding coach; just go look at the track record. They’ve beaten some name programs in the past, and he puts his players in positions to succeed. Ask anybody in college basketball about Rick Byrd, and they’ll tell you, he’s a known commodity.

Steve LavinFormer UCLA Head CoachESPN College Basketball Analyst

Coach Byrd always has his team prepared. We got beat by a really good basketball team, they knew exactly what they wanted to do. Belmont doesn’t have shot takers; Belmont has shot makers.

Mark GottfriedFormer Alabama Head CoachAthletes in Action

From relative unknown to media darling, Belmont Basketball burst on the scene in 2006 and remained a fixture ever since. Aside from traditional local print, radio and television coverage, the Bruins have been featured prominently in national television and radio segments, as well as profiled in renowned magazines, newspapers and internet sites.

Belmont Basketball has had 31 televised games over the past four years, including marquee games against Duke, Georgetown, UCLA, Alabama, Cincinnati, Illinois, Michigan State, Oklahoma, Ohio State and Tennessee. Contests against Kansas and Washington are slated for telecasts this season.

The Bruins are mainstays on the Atlantic Sun Conference’s ‘Game of the Week’ package on Comcast/Charter Sports Southeast (CSS).

There may be bigger on-campus facilities, but there is not a better place to play and train in America than Belmont University’s Curb Event Center. The $52 million, 90,000 square foot masterpiece is a state-of-the-art facility, capable of hosting everything from Bruin Athletics to an historic Presidential Debate. The CEC is maintained and operated by fully digital, computerized systems and represents the highest quality of production capabilities. The addition of two Daktronics video boards in 2007 has greatly enhanced the gameday experience. The main arena floor expands to three full regulation courts – ideal for practices, individual training sessions, and summer camps.

The adjacent Beaman Student Life Center houses the general campus fitness center, racquetball courts, a two-story rock-climbing wall and meeting rooms. It also houses the Belmont Rec Gym, a pristine and intimate practice setting for the Bruins all year long.

The 1600 square foot Belmont Weight Room also gives the Bruins a significant edge. Under the leadership of Josh McMillian, Belmont student-athletes make use of three power stations with customized platforms, customized dumbbells, a wide variety of free weights and machines and top-of-the-line speed, agility and plyometric equipment.

The Bruin locker room areas are first-class featuring the same fine amenities located throughout the rest of the facility and in many other popular sports entertainment arenas. All the lockers are spacious and made from the finest cherry. In the front of the locker room is a giant cherry cabinet that holds a big screen television and DVR. The unit is cable ready, giving the team an outstanding facility to breakdown film and scout opponents. Most recently, the lockers have been adorned with brand-new personalized name plates and a decorative border encapsulating many of the great moments in Belmont Basketball history.

In five short seasons, the Curb Event Center has gained a national reputation as being one of the finest new facilities in college basketball. Since the inaugural 2003-04 season, Belmont is 62-16 (.795) at the CEC – those 62 wins representing the most home court wins in the Atlantic Sun Conference over that span. Moreover, the Bruins are an astounding 48-9 (.842) in league games at the Curb Event Center.

With the Bruins’ formula of uncompromising success, high-scoring action, and vigorous, loyal support from ‘The M.O.B.’ – Belmont’s boisterous student section – attendance has increased 37 percent over the past five years. That is the greatest percentage increase in attendance among all Nashville area sports teams – college and professional.

Two schools less than three miles apart. Zip code and conference affiliation aside, these proud institutions share glorious basketball histories, much of which is intertwined. Games become memorable events. Simply put, few rivalries in college basketball supply the passion, intensity, and drama of Belmont-Lipscomb.

The schools first met December 11, 1953 in venerable McQuiddy Gym, which played home to Lipscomb from 1949 to 2001. Belmont won the inaugural meeting, 72-53, and went on to claim victory in the first six encounters. Stoking the fires, Belmont traveled to Lipscomb five times in one single season, back in 1955-56.The teams’ initial postseason game came in 1958, as the then-Rebels defeated Lipscomb 87-84 in the VSAC Tournament. Two years later, Lipscomb returned the favor in the NAIA District 24 Tournament.

From 1964 to 1976, Belmont won 17 of 25 contests, including eight in a row from 1967 to 1971. In the 1980’s, the rivalry grew exponentially - as both programs evolved into perennial NAIA powerhouses. With Belmont sporting decorated players like Joe Behling, Scott Corley, Scott Speedy, and Greg Thurman; and Lipscomb countering with Darren Henrie, Philip Hutcheson, Jerry Meyer, and John Pierce, many local basketball fans and historians characterized this as the ‘Golden Age’ of the rivalry. After Belmont won a spirited NAIA playoff game at Lipscomb in 1989, 105-98, the stage was set for an epic rematch.

On February 17, 1990, nearly 16,000 fans packed Vanderbilt’s Memorial Gym for another classic duel. Lipscomb won 124-107, in what remains the largest-attended basketball game in NAIA history. The legendary coaching personalities - Belmont’s Rick Byrd and Lipscomb’s Don Meyer - and the arenas - Belmont’s Striplin Gym and Lipscomb’s McQuiddy Gym - gave games flavor and truly defined the matchup.

The relationship ended for a stretch in 1996, as each program transitioned from NAIA to the NCAA. But in 2004, with each now boasting magnificent new facilities, the rivalry was renewed. As Atlantic Sun Conference foes, Belmont has won eight of the 13 meetings - with five of the games decided in overtime. The ‘Battle of the Boulevard’ has become the league’s marquee game, attracting sellout crowds and regional television audiences.

But no single game in the storied 56 year history of the rivalry had as much on the line as the 2006 Atlantic Sun Championship in Johnson City, Tenn. Belmont and Lipscomb - co-champions during the regular season - advanced to the final with a first-ever berth to the NCAA Tournament at stake. Behind the heroic play of Tournament MVP Justin Hare, the Bruins won 74-69 to punch their ticket to the ‘Big Dance.’ One more chapter in a timeless basketball tale.

‘BATTLE OF THE BOULEVARD’

21

In the mid-1800s, Belmont University’s campus was known as Adelicia Acklen’s Belle Monte estate. The antebellum mansion remains today, flanked by university buildings separated in age by more than a century. The first educational institution on the estate was the original Belmont College (1890-1913), offering elementary school through junior college education to young ladies. The school merged with Ward Seminary to become the prestigious Ward-Belmont School for Women (1913-1951) and in 1951, became the coed Belmont College. In 1991, the college became Belmont University, and this year, began the 120th year of higher education on this site.

Belmont continually reflects its rich heritage as it excels in academics. For 2010, U.S. News & World Report placed Belmont University for the first time in the top 10 of the best colleges and universities in the South in the magazine’s Master’s category. Perhaps even more notable than the recent No. 7 ranking, Belmont has stood out for two consecutive years as a U.S. News & World Report most cited “School to Watch,” one of the two most cited schools nationwide in this category.

Belmont’s vision is to be a premier teaching university bringing together the best of liberal arts and professional education in a Christian community of learning and service. Belmont strives to empower men and women from diverse backgrounds to engage and transform the world with disciplined intelligence, compassion, courage and faith. Believing that every student is created for a purpose in life, Belmont encourages students to explore their passions and develop their talents to meet the world’s needs.

Belmont’s boundaries continue to extend beyond the Nashville campus through its Cool Springs campus south of Nashville and organized programs such as the Washington Center program and music business’ Belmont West in Los Angeles and Belmont East in New York City. Study-abroad programs place students in China, Costa Rica, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Russia, South Africa and Spain. Belmont also serves as a regional site of the East-West Center for the Development of Asian Studies.

Vital to the Belmont student experience are service learning, volunteerism and mission projects that invest in surrounding communities. Through the efforts of students and faculty, Belmont has touched lives in Nashville’s charitable organizations, its growing Hispanic community, area tutoring programs, neighboring businesses and mentoring programs, as well as inner-city and overseas mission projects, including trips to the Appalachian Mountains and the Ukraine.

Among its student body of 5,400, are students from every state and more than 29 countries. In addition to seven baccalaureate degrees in over 75 areas of study, Belmont offers master’s degrees in Business Administration, Accountancy, English, Education, Sport Administration, Music, Nursing and Occupational Therapy, and doctorates in Pharmacy, Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy.

Under the leadership of President Robert Fisher, Belmont celebrates more than a century of an accomplished academic heritage and commitment to educational innovation. Notably, Belmont has earned the Atlantic Sun Academic Champion Trophy seven of the

last eight years - with over two-thirds of its student-athletes with a GPA of 3.0 or higher in 2007-08. Moreover, Belmont has opened several impressive new facilities on campus which have enhanced the learning environment, including the Curb Event Center, the Gordon E. Inman Center and the Troutt Theater. In 2010, Belmont will unveil a new Health Sciences center to house the School of Pharmacy as well as a new residence hall. Still, one of Belmont’s biggest achievements came in 2008 with the hosting of the Town Hall Presidential Debate, the first presidential debate to be held in Tennessee. Recently, on the one-year anniversary of the debate, the university announced that it will open a College of Law with students starting classes in fall 2011.

Belmont’s remarkable growth and achievement certainly give credence to its theme, From Here to Anywhere!

NASHVILLE QUICK FACTS

by Expansion Management

Country Music Hall of Fame, The Hermitage, Grand Ole Opry, Opryland Hotel, Wildhorse Saloon

Nashville is the capital of Tennessee and the entertainment, cultural, and commercial center of the Mid-South. With a metropolitan population more than 1.5 million, Nashville is one of the fastest growing markets in the country. In the past decade alone, the population of the Nashville area has grown by nearly 30 percent.

‘The Music City’ can best be described as a pleasant mix of big city entertainment and “down home” friendliness. Nashville is located in the heart of our nation’s bustling core. Major cities such as St. Louis, Cincinnati, Memphis, Atlanta, and Birmingham can all be reached by car within 3-5 hours. And when going from work to play, Nashville has it all. The city offers a multitude of sporting events, recreational opportunities, restaurants, parks, and shopping malls.

The sports landscape in Nashville has changed dramatically over the past decade with the introduction of major professional sports into the area. The arrival of the NFL’s Tennessee Titans in 1998 brought instant credibility and excitement to the Mid-State. The Titans have won two division titles and one conference

championship under longtime Head Coach Jeff Fisher. Tennessee represented the AFC in Super Bowl XXXIV, playing the St. Louis Rams in one of the most memorable games in NFL history. With star in the making running back Chris Johnson and on the heels of the AFC’s best mark in 2008, the future looks bright for the powder blue and white. Home for the Titans is LP Field, a 68,000 seat, state-of-the-art facility located on the east bank of the Cumberland River across from downtown. Aside from the NFL, LP Field also plays host to several major concerts and international sporting events.

Not to be outdone, the Nashville Predators have introduced the thrills of the National Hockey League to Middle Tennessee. In 2008, the Predators advanced to the Stanley Cup Playoffs for a fourth consecutive season. The Preds skate in one of Nashville’s downtown landmarks, the Sommet Center. The 18,000 seat Sommet Center is a regular venue for touring groups.

Another constant among Nashville professional sports over the past two decades has been the Nashville Sounds. The Sounds, who have called Music City home since 1978, compete in the Pacific Coast League as the Class AAA affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. In recent years, players like Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, Yovani Gallardo, and Ricky Weeks have called Nashville home. The 2006 PCL Champion Sounds play at Greer Stadium, located just minutes from downtown and the longtime home of Belmont Baseball.

The Nashville Superspeedway has become the area’s top racing venue, hosting NASCAR and IRL events for the past seven summers. Furthermore, Nashville has established itself as the ideal place to host a major sporting event. In the past decade alone, the city has hosted events such as the U.S. Figure Skating Championships, the U.S. Gymnastics Championships, the NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournament, the SEC men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, numerous AAU national championships, and the U.S. Swimming Championships. Recently, Nashville was awarded the 2014 NCAA Women’s Final Four. Each year, Nashville hosts the highly-popular Country Music Marathon and the Music City Bowl - which now pits teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference and Southeastern Conferences each December at LP Field.

Recreation is second-to-none in Nashville. Located in the picturesque hills of Middle Tennessee, Nashville boasts thousands of acres of public parks and offers a variety of outdoor activities like golf, boating, fishing, and hiking.

Known as “Music City USA”, Nashville is a city whose musical tastes range from country to rock to gospel. The city has several major concert venues and many big-name concert tours consider Nashville a “must-stop.” The city also serves as home to the Grand Ole Opry, the nation’s longest running weekly radio show, and the Country Music Hall of Fame. Nashville has long been the mecca of the country music industry and is one of the top recording centers in the world. All of the music industry’s major recording labels have a presence in Music Row, just north of the Belmont campus.

The nightlife in downtown Nashville offers something for everyone. Admist the savory sights and sounds of historic Second Avenue sit some of the most venerable hot spots anywhere. From Wildhorse Saloon and Hard Rock Cafe to Famous Dave’s BBQ and The Pancake Pantry, it is not uncommon to bump into stars of stage and screen in Nashville.

24

NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE

Nashville’s cultural environment earned the city its other nickname, the “Athens of the South.” Nashville is well known as a major education center. The area’s 10 accredited four-year and postgraduate institutions, including Belmont, are an integral part of the economic and cultural identity of the area. In addition to its educational institutions, the city offers numerous cultural and artistic venues. It is home to nine performing arts facilities, including the Tennessee Performing Arts Center. TPAC is the home to a wide range of events, including Broadway musicals and performances by the Nashville Ballet, Nashville Opera, and the Nashville Symphony. The city is also home to seven art galleries, including the Frist Center for the Visual Arts. The Frist Center, housed in the city’s old main post office, presents a wide assortment of visual arts exhibitions. Nashville boasts 25 museums (including the Tennessee State Museum), numerous historic sites (like The Hermitage - home of President Andrew Jackson, an exact replica of the Parthenon, and the Natchez Trace Parkway), and an upgraded public library system that includes a new $50 million downtown library.

Lastly, Nashville is the cornerstone of the Mid-South economy. It has become a leader in printing and publishing, music and entertainment, finance and insurance, healthcare management, automobile and other related industry, manufacturing and tourism. Internationally known companies like Bridgestone/Firestone, Caterpillar Financial, Dell, Dollar General, HCA, Nissan, and Saturn have significant operations in the city.

Sporting a mild climate with distinct changes in season - warm summers, colorful autumns, brisk winters, and beautiful springs - no two days are alike in Nashville.

The Bruins made 12 first-half three-pointers en route to a 94-67 victory at East Tennessee State for the 2007 Atlantic Sun Conference Championship.26

BRUINS FROM BEHIND THE ARC

The Belmont Athletic Training staff is primarily responsible for the delivery of quality healthcare to all student athletes participating in intercollegiate athletic programs at Belmont University. This care will be provided by the guidelines of the NATA through prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries and illnesses sustained during any practice or game.

The Belmont Athletic Training department is housed in an 1860 square foot space within the Curb Event Center. The facility is fully-equipped with a hyrdoroom, taping area, treatment and rehabilitation area, as well as physician’s office. Belmont’s 17 varsity sports are staffed by eight National Athletic Training Association certified athletic trainers through Vanderbilt Sports Medicine.

Our basketball team would not be the same without the effort of Paul. His contribution is always in the background, but he has earned the respect of all coaches and players with his humble, professional and thorough approach to taking care of our players.

- Coach Byrd on Head Athletic Trainer Paul Malloy

27

ATHLETIC TRAINING

In August 2007, Belmont Basketball visited England and France as part of a foreign tour. The NCAA permits member institutions to play against international competition once every four years. Moreover, NCAA rules allow teams up to 10 days of practices prior to their departure. “A team trip to London and Paris is the opportunity of a lifetime for our players,” Byrd said prior to departure. “This is an example of athletics really giving young men a terrific educational experience. We hope to improve our basketball team during the trip and in the four games we play, but this tour is much more about experiencing Europe than it is about playing basketball.” While in England, Belmont visited a number of noted tourist attractions, including the Thames, Covent Garden, the House of Parliament, Buckingham Palace, Madam Tusauds, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and the Globe Theatre. France afforded the opportunity to see countless historic sights as well, including the Seine, Montmartre, the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Pantheon, Orsay, and the Champs-Elysees. Much like making the NCAA Tournament, Belmont Basketball captured more memories for a lifetime. Future overseas trips are scheduled.

28

OVERSEAS TRIPS

Service is at the heart of Belmont University’s mission statement, and in keeping with that tradition, earlier this decade the Bruin athletic program initiated an annual sports evangelism mission trip. Following the 2009 spring semester, Belmont Assistant Athletic Director and Senior Woman Administrator Betty Wiseman led a group of Belmont student-athletes and staff to Cape Town, South Africa. Over the two week experience, Belmont Athletics worked in conjunction with School of Religion Study Abroad students and embedded missionaries to exchange basketball, laughter, hope, and personal faith with thousands of locals. BU men’s basketball team members Keaton Belcher, Drew Hanlen and Mick Hedgepeth, as well as former players Stefan Baskin and Andy Wicke, participated in the trip. “Our play, relays, demonstrations and exhibitions provided the connection with students before we sat them down for a time of sharing,” Wiseman reflected. “I still can’t believe we organized anywhere from 400-800 students at a time for play and fun, and then found them attentive, open, and receptive. The personal impact of this experience will be ongoing for all of us.” Former Bruin Josh Goodwin added, “The mission trips were a great experience spiritually and emotionally. We got to use our skills and gifts to share our faith.” Belmont groups have also travelled to Kiev, Ukraine and Porta la Cruz, Venezuela, and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in recent years.

SERVICE/MISSION TRIPS

My time at Belmont brings back so many positive memories. While the actual basketball games are fun to think back upon, it is the meaningful friendships made that are most important. These friendships, in addition to the discipline and work ethic that basketball taught, built the foundation to help me succeed in the business world. I am very thankful for my experience at Belmont and all the fond memories.

Coach Byrd always stressed the importance of success in the classroom as well as on the basketball court. Trying to balance studying and practices was a difficult task to learn, but it helped me develop the ability to prioritize my schedule to meet all deadlines which has been a very valuable skill in the hectic world of public accounting. Additionally, teamwork and the ability to motivate others toward a common goal are other skills that Coach Byrd instilled in all of us that have helped me translate success on the basketball court into success in my chosen profession.

‘WHAT’S NEXT’

Playing at Belmont was irreplaceable! It is very seldom that you find a basketball program with players that had so many other positive things going for them. It really did show me that the sky was the limit, and I could do anything I set my mind to.

My time at Belmont is one that I will cherish for a lifetime. Just riding down Wedgewood Avenue puts chills in my body. I miss everything about Belmont. From the time I came to Belmont, it was the team’s goal to be known by people all over the world. I learned so much from Coach Byrd. In my coaching now, I can hear him come out of me at times. I hope the team will continue to get better and bring home championships.

egendary golfer Ben Hogan oncesaid, “You never stay the same.You’re either getter better or

you’re getting worse.” If Hogan appliedthat logic to Belmont Basketball, the Bruinswould pass with high marks.

By any measure - NCAATournaments, postseason play, conferencechampionships, 20-win seasons, roadconquests, coaching continuity, academichonors - Belmont Basketball is an over-whelmingly successful program that reach-es new heights with each passing year.

In 2008-09, an experience-ladenBelmont squad carried weighty preseasonexpectations and overcame countless adver-sity to further cement its place among themid major elite.

The Bruins came tantalizinglyclose to an historic fourth consecutive auto-matic bid in the NCAA Tournament, butnevertheless notched the program’s fifth20+ win season in six years and won a post-season road game in the CollegeInsider.comPostseason Tournament. Not to mention,point guard Alex Renfroe turned inarguably the finest individual statisticalseason in program history en route to APAll-America, All-District, Mid-Major All-America and Atlantic Sun Player of theYear honors.

“It is always exciting to ‘turn thepage’ so to speak, and I know that our staffis looking forward to coaching a young, tal-ented group of basketball players,” Belmont

head coach Rick Byrd said. “I am sure wewill make plenty of mistakes like a youngteam can, but hopefully we will play withgreat enthusiasm and effort as well.”

But with Renfroe and likewisevenerable mainstays Shane Dansby,Matthew Dotson, Harris Harris and AndyWicke lost to graduation, a talented - albeitnew-look - Bruin squad readies to carry onthe winning tradition.

Year after year, college basketballexperts exclaim the same thing comeMarch Madness when asked about a centralkey to success, “Give me experienced guardplay.” Well, the past four seasons, BelmontBasketball has been blessed with some ofthe most productive guards in program his-tory. From Brian Collins, Josh Goodwin,Justin Hare, Andy Wicke, Shane Dansbyand Alex Renfroe, the Bruins have had five1,000 point scorers and, the latter, an NAIAand NCAA All-American. For perspective,Renfroe, Wicke, Dansby and defensivestopper Henry Harris accounted for over 85percent of Belmont’s total guard minutesand 52 percent of Belmont’s total offensive

WORD ON THE STREET

“Shows how sharp I am...I said Maya Moore ofUConn could make Belmont and come to find outthat Belmont has signed the Player of the Yearfrom Alabama. Just shows the depth of talent incollege basketball and what Belmont isdoing...Belmont beat Cincinnati and Alabama,almost beat Duke...Rick Byrd’s a classy guy and hehas a gorgeous campus there in Nashville.”

-Colin CowherdESPN Radio

“I always tell people the most fun I ever had cover-ing (an event) was this rivalry between these twoschools (Belmont-Lipscomb) in Nashville becauseit was so intense. There was so much interest inthat rivalry in the second year that I covered itthat they moved one of the Belmont home games toVanderbilt and they sold it out - 15,003 people.”

-Buster OlneyESPN The Magazine

“I learned that Belmont’s Rick Byrd can coach aswell as a Jim Boeheim or a Jim Calhoun despite thefact that his team plays in a smaller gym and hispaycheck might be a little smaller.”

-Mike WatersSyracuse Post-Standard

“After enjoying a great run as one of the nation’selite NAIA program in the 1990s, Belmont emergesas the top program in the Atlantic Sun in the 2000s- all under Rick Byrd’s watch. Over the past sevenyears, the Bruins are 96-34 in league games, withNCAA Tournament appearances in 2006, 2007 &2008.”

-Mitch LightAthlon

“There is no question Belmont has establisheditself as a program on the rise thanks to five 20-win seasons in a six-year span and three consecu-tive trips to the NCAA Tournament. After yearsof relying on outside shooting and mismatches toget the most out of an undersized roster, Byrd nowhas enough quality athletes assembled to attackopponents in different ways.”

WORD ON THE STREET

“Watching them on tape, they looked really good.Watching them in person, they’re even better.They played with a great verve, and they’re justreal difficult to defend. And I thought they playedreally good defense against us. I’ve coached in 89of these games (NCAA Tournament) now, I toldthe guys as far as game pressure goes, this had torank in the top three or four, and hopefully the peo-ple at Belmont take that as a real complimentbecause they should be complimented.”

Mike KrzyzewskiHead Coach, Duke

“They’re a scary team that most all people try tostay away from. Coach Byrd does a phenomenaljob and his kids play hard every time out. Belmontis a great offensive team and a threat every year. ”

-Bruce PearlHead Coach, Tennessee

“Belmont is a very good team. They are experi-enced, they shoot the ball very well and are verywell coached.”

-Mike AndersonHead Coach, Missouri

“Every guy they had could shoot it, pass it anddribble and then they beat us on the boards, too.That's who we want to be.”

-Marty SimmonsHead Coach, Evansville

“With forward Jon House joining a handful ofreserves and talented newcomers, it should keepBelmont dangerous all season.”

-Corey DavisLindy’s

“The Bruins have only two seniors on the roster,so coach Rick Byrd faces an uphill battle to keephis team in contention. (But) Belmont is hoping 6-10 Rice transfer Scott Saunders can contributeright away.”

output last season. Moreover, the quartetaccounted for 67 percent of the team’s totalsteals and 62 percent of the team’s totalassists. With that monumental amount ofproduction walking out of the Curb EventCenter doors with diplomas, you wouldn’tblame Rick Byrd if he felt mild trepidationheading into 2009-10. But for every JasonKidd that moves on, a Devin Harris mustemerge. And the Bruins boast several capa-ble candidates eager to take the next step.

Expect Jordan Campbell toassume a greater role in 2009-10. The silkysmooth swingman from Indianapolis waspoised for a breakthrough sophomore cam-paign a year ago. After leading Belmont insteals, blocked shots and ranking second inrebounding on the team in 2008 en route toAtlantic Sun All-Freshman Team honors,Campbell suffered a season- ending injuryDec. 6 at North Florida. The void left inCampbell’s absence was enormous; forcingthe Bruins to tighten their rotation and getcreative on offense and defense. Simplyput, Campbell may be Belmont’s most com-plete player, able to score and defend withno discernable dropoff. As he rediscovershis scoring touch and game shape andassumes a greater willingness to demandthe basketball in crunch time, Campbell hasall the attributes to be an All-Conferenceplayer.

With Andy Wicke’s graduation, aheaping helping of shooting guard minuteshas come available. Wicke and his 1,236points, 303 three-point field goals, 170 stealsand nearly 3,500 career minutes will be dif-ficult to replace. Yet if the end of 2008-09 isany indication, Jonny Rice is ready for hisopportunity. Redshirted in 2007-08, Ricewas relegated to a limited role last seasondue to Belmont’s bevy of experiencedguards. But with Wicke in foul trouble andHenry Harris unavailable due to injury inthe Bruins’ CollegeInsider.com PostseasonTournament opener at Evansville, a gutsyRice stole the show. The sharpshooter fromIllinois scored a career-high 15 points andplayed hounding defense in 27 minutes offthe bench in leading Belmont to victory.Possessing one of the purest shootingstrokes ever to enter the Curb EventCenter, Rice has expanded his game in theoff-season; ready for greater responsibilityas a scorer and playmaker.

Speaking of playmaking, AlexRenfroe took the phrase to another level.The self-described “scrawny” guard thatnobody wanted evolved into one of thenation’s premier point guards. Renfroe dideverything but sell popcorn and keep statsfor the Bruins last season. Believed to bethe first college basketball player since TimDuncan in 1997 to lead his team in scoring,

rebounding, assists, field goal percentageand blocked shots, Renfroe’s import cannotbe understated.

Few got a better vantage point ofRenfroe’s brilliance than Drew Hanlen. Thesophomore point guard gained invaluableknowledge and seasoning from Renfroedaily in practice and games. A steady han-dle and defender off the bench last season,Hanlen will be asked to shoulder increasedduties in running the Bruin offense. Arenowned workout warrior, physically andmentally strong, and an unquestioned gymrat, Hanlen has already shined in off-seasonworkouts. Look for greater output acrossthe board in 2009-10 from Hanlen.

Joining the backcourt mix are apair of highly touted freshmen. KerronJohnson boasts one of the most eye-poppingprep resumes in Belmont history: leader ofthree-time Alabama State ChampionMadison Academy, 2009 Alabama Mr.Basketball and two-time ASWA Alabama 3-A Player of the Year for starters. Johnson isan explosive, dynamic point guard capableof setting up teammates and finishing at therim. Belmont’s up-tempo attack is perfectlysuited for Johnson’s skill set. He should viefor playing time right away.

Likewise, Ian Clark will be anoth-er welcomed infusion of talent and youthfulexuberance. Clark, a prep standout atGermantown High School near Memphis,emerged as one of the top players in thestate of Tennessee this past season. Long,athletic and equally adept off the bounceand from behind the arc, Clark has a pol-ished all-around game and a scorer’s men-tality. His impact will surely be felt.

Non-scholarship player, AdamBarnes returns for his second season withthe program. Barnes, a mainstay performerat nearby Clarksville High School, redshirt-ed as a freshman. He provides great energyand enthusiasm.

2009-10 SEASON OUTLOOK

fasciitis last year, finishing his career with1,165 points and several game-winningshots. Though Dotson’s leadership andshooting touch will be sorely missed, theBruins sport arguably their deepestfrontcourt in program history.

Fifth-year senior Keaton Belcheris well-positioned to claim Dotson’s role asthe Bruins’ primary shooting option fromthe power forward spot. Having played in100 consecutive games since his debut in2006, Belcher will embrace a larger leader-ship role this year. Four years of experiencein the Belmont offense and discipline in thestrength and conditioning program shouldreap dividends for Belcher this season. TheKentucky native has delivered severalmoments of greatness in his first threeyears, but the coaching staff will demandgreater consistency in increased minutes asa senior. If Belcher’s elevated scoring out-put in the 2009 Atlantic Sun Tournamentwas any indication, he’s ready for thechallenge.

Mike Dejworek stands as theelderstatesman down low now and willagain provide depth as a trusted contribu-tor. The 6-11 German product has takenenormous strides in his three years oncampus and under the tutelage of postcoach Brian Ayers. Dejworek’s halfcourtgame has improved greatly on both ends ofthe floor. His rare speed, agility, and lengthfor a big man were never in question.However, Coach Byrd may have to do adouble take when he calls Dejworek’snumber: No. 12 will be his third jerseynumber in four years.

Versatile Jon House returns forhis third season at forward. A starter in allbut five games a year ago, House was oneof the top field goal percentage shooters inthe Atlantic Sun last year. The phrase “glueguy” - a valuable team player who may notbe a frontline scorer - has become all therage in college basketball and House cer-tainly fits the bill. The Maple Leaf doeswhatever it takes for Belmont to win -score, rebound, pass, defend multiple posi-tions. With that hockey mentality, expectHouse to continue to stick in nose in theaction.

A great deal of anticipation andexcitement surrounds the debut of ScottSaunders. A promising big man armed withsolid footwork and faceup ability, Saunderscomes to the Bruins after playing his fresh-man year of 2007-08 for Rice University.Highly coveted by the Bruin coaches out ofhigh school at nearby Battle GroundAcademy, the 6-10 Saunders sat out 2008-09in accordance with NCAA transfer rules.However, Saunders used that time wisely;acclimating himself with the Bruin system,

improving his post game with Coach Ayersand bolstering his strength and fitness.Saunders’ diligence, work ethic and coacha-bility should translate into great things forthe Bruins.

Another big man poised to takehis game to the next level is MickHedgepeth. Outside of All-AmericanRenfroe, a strong case could be made thatHedgepeth was the Belmont team MVP inthe second half of 2008-09. Self-assuredafter getting adjusted to the college game,the 6-9 post player, Hedgepeth became ahuge factor on both ends of the floor.Clutch plays in the final seconds againstEast Tennessee State and Mercer in theseason’s stretch run also boosted theAlabama native’s confidence. With anotheroff-season in the weight room and the gym,look for Hedgepeth to open more eyes thisseason.

Like Saunders, Brandon Baker iseager to exchange the practice jersey for agame uniform. The Cincinnati native elect-ed to redshirt as a true freshman last year,giving himself the chance to learnBelmont’s offense from a number of posi-tions. A high-energy, high-effort player,Baker can bang in the paint and bang downthree-point shots. With Coach Byrd nowboasting a deeper bench and able to returnto his desired extended rotation of 2007-08,expect the easy-going Baker to compete forminutes at both forward positions rightaway.

As with its backcourt, Belmontstakes claim to two lauded freshmen for-wards. Blake Jenkins completed the Bruinincoming class, and was certainly wellworth the wait. A long, athletic swingmanfrom perennial power Bearden HS ofKnoxville, Jenkins will not be fazed byhigh-level competition. A force on the glassand in transition, Jenkins can make theBruins better right away. Moreover, withhis pedigree of father Fred and cousinBernard Childress having starred atTennessee and Belmont respectively,Jenkins is excited to add to the hoops fami-ly tree.

Trevor Noack rounds out theBruin frontcourt. A highly-touted forwardfrom the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the 6-7Noack was a recruiting gem. As a senior,Noack blossomed into one of the top all-around big men in the Lone Star State.With the rebounding effort of TylerHansbrough and the scoring touch ofGoran Suton, there’s no reason Noackwon’t work his way into the Belmont line-up.

Non-scholarship player and localproduct Travis Williams adds frontcourtdepth.

FIVE QUESTIONS WITH COACH BYRD

Q: What is your overall assessment of whereBelmont Basketball is as a program?

A: I think all of us involved with BelmontBasketball program are thrilled with where wehave come in a decade of NCAA Division Ibasketball. Five post season appearances andfive twenty win seasons in the last six yearswould have been unthinkable during the earlypart of this decade. Becoming the firstAtlantic Sun school to win three consecutivepost season tournaments to advance to theNCAA tournament is certainly an accom-plishment that our five seniors of a year agowill always remember proudly.

Q: What are your thoughts on the upcomingseason?

A: It is always exciting to "turn the page" soto speak and I know that our staff is lookingforward to coaching a young, talented groupof basketball players. I am sure we will makeplenty of mistakes like a young team can buthopefully we will play with great enthusiasmand effort as well.

Q: Many Bruin fans are excited to catch aglimpse of the incoming recruiting class, plusthree promising players who sat out last sea-son. What can we expect?

A: Most coaching staffs are optimistic abouttheir incoming class but we are really excitedabout the four freshmen, Scott Saunders andredshirt players Brandon Baker and AdamBarnes. It would be very fair to compare thisclass favorably with the Justin Hare, AndyWicke, Henry Harris class that accomplishedso much.

Q: In your mind what will be a few keys to asuccessful 2009-110 season?

A: I think our focus needs to be on effort, exe-cution, improvement and developing astrong, unselfish "team" atmosphere early inthe season. We can focus more on our resultsas we enter the Atlantic Sun schedule and aswe get closer to tournament time.

Q: And lastly, a few thoughts on the AtlanticSun Conference landscape - the league seemsto be getting stronger each year?

A: I do not remember a year when moreteams return so many good players, not aperfect season for us to lose five valuableseniors. This should be the strongest ourleague has been in the past six or seven years.

Coach Byrd on Keaton Belcher:“Our staff is looking for a big year from Keaton in 09-10. The lossof so many outstanding players leaves a scoring void that Keatonshould step in and help us fill this season. He is an outstandingshooter for a player his size and he has continued to improve his allaround game each season. Keaton has worked very hard in the off-season and that improved strength and conditioning should pay offthis year. Pre-season work has also shown that Keaton is takinghis senior leadership role very seriously.”

Coach Byrd on Mike Dejworek:“Mike's shoulder injury is a big setback for he and our basketballteam heading into this season. Steady improvement by Mike cou-pled with holes created by the loss of five seniors gave him a realopportunity to step in and contribute immediately. We will lookforward to Mike returning in December to give us a trio of insideplayers with outstanding size.”

Coach Byrd on Jordan Campbell:“The loss of Jordan early last season proved to be quite a blow toour team as the season played out. Jordan's contributions to oursuccess is not always found in the box score. He gets his hands onpasses, loose balls, and long rebounds. He is an exceptional passerand a very capable 3 point shooter. A healthy Jordan Campbellcould very well be our best all around basketball player this sea-son.”

Coach Byrd on Jon House:“As the lone returning starter, we look to Jon to provide leadershipand help build a very young basketball team quickly. Jon is ayoung man who really understands how to play the game andmakes the most of his ability. He has returned this season after asummer of work on his shooting that will make him more of anoutside threat. Much like Jordan Campbell, Jon is the kind of play-er whose great work does not always show up in the stats, he justseems to make our basketball team a better one when he is on thefloor.”

Coach Byrd on Drew Hanlen:“Drew benefitted from a year backing up last year's A-Sun playerof the year in Alex Renfroe. He made a valuable contribution toour team last year, but this year he will be called upon to providemuch more at the point guard position. Drew loves the game and itis easy to see as you watch him play. His enthu-siasm is infectious and his leadership is perhapshis most valuable asset. He is an outstandingball handler and three-point shooter and histoughness makes him a very good defender.”

Coach Byrd on Mick Hedgepeth:“Rarely have we had a player improve during a season as much asMick did a year ago. He almost singlehandedly started our greatcomeback at Campbell and no one on our team will ever forget hisgame-winning rebound basket in the Atlantic Sun tournament againstMercer. Mick is a strong, tough post player withoutstanding scoring ability inside and a surpris-ing ability to score out to the three point line. Asummer of hard work should make Mick one ofthe league's top post players this season.”

BRUIN FLASHBACKRICK BYRD GETS CAREER WIN NO. 500December 13, 2006Jack Stephens Center - - Little Rock, Ark.Belmont Bruins 30 42 72UALR Trojans 22 35 57

LITTLE ROCK, ARK. - - Led by outstanding perimeter play, Belmont Basketball defeated Arkansas-Little RockWednesday night, 72-57, to give Head Coach Rick Byrd his 500th career victory.

The Bruins opened ablaze from three-point range, with junior Justin Hare draining three treys in the first threeminutes. The dead-eye long distance shooting was needed in the early going, as behind the interior play ofRashad Jones-Jennings and Lekheythan Malone, UALR built a 12-9 lead.

But during a four minute Trojan scoring drought, Belmont strung together three more triples – one from seniorJosh Goodwin and two from sophomore Andy Wicke – to build an 18-12 edge. Interestingly, BU’s first two-pointfield goal came nearly 12 minutes into the game on a pullup jumper from Wicke.

A short jumper from Jones-Jennings capped an 8-2 UALR run to nod the score, 20-20, 13 minutes in. But Belmontcontinued to clamp down defensively with harassing halfcourt man-to-man pressure, and consequently creptfree.

Five different Bruins scored as Belmont ended the half on a 10-2 spurt to head into the locker room up eight, 30-22. Though it didn’t attempt a free throw in the opening 20 minutes, Belmont held UALR to just 32 percentshooting from the floor.

Any thoughts of the Bruins starting the second half tight with their coach on the verge of a career milestonewere quickly dispelled. A three-pointer from sophomore Matthew Dotson extended the lead to 11, 33-22, with18:29 to go. Hare followed with a wing trey off a feed from Andrew Preston to push to lead to 12, 36-24.

A lay-in from Byron Ray trimmed the margin to eight, 36-28, but Belmont’s post counterpart Boomer Herndonanswered with a second-chance basket. The Bruin lead remained in double figures the remainder of the way.

Behind continued disciplined defense and a baseline three-pointer from Goodwin, the lead swelled to 16, 46-30,with 13:06 left. Despite the red-hot shooting of UALR’s Stephen Moore, who scored all of his 17 points in thefinal 13 minutes, Belmont showcased patient halfcourt offense in keeping the host team at bay.

Consecutive lay-ups from Hare and Wicke stretched the lead back to 15, 55-40, with 7:37 remaining. The Bruins,who committed just four second half turnovers, went 8-for-13 from the free throw line down the stretch to securevictory.

For the game, the Bruins shot 51 percent from the floor (26-for-51) – including 11-for-25 from three-point range -while limiting UALR to just 38 percent shooting (21-for-56). Though UALR outrebounded Belmont, 36-31, con-sider that the Trojans outrebounded Minnesota by 27 in defeating the Big Ten members on December 9.

Hare led Belmont with a game-high 20 points on 6-for-7 shooting, while Wicke added a season-high 18 points offthe bench. Goodwin chipped in 13 points, while Preston had a career-high six assists.

One of the most successful and respectedcoaches in the country, Head Coach Rick Byrdhas been a model of consistency in leadingBelmont's transition from an NAIAinstitution to a perennial headliner andchampionship program in NCAA Division-I.

Byrd, who has roamed the sidelines for morethan a quarter century, led the Bruins to a 20-13record in 2008-09 and a postseason appearancein the CollegeInsider.com PostseasonTournament (CIT). It marked Belmont’sfourth straight 20+ win campaign andpostseason berth; fifth in the last six years.Belmont spent much of the 2008-09 seasonranked in the Mid Major Top 25 poll andearned the program’s first NCAA-era postsea-son victory at Evansville of the MissouriValley Conference. Only Belmont andreigning National Champion North Carolinahave won 20+ games, earned postseason playand received academic distinction from theNCAA (APR Report) each of the past fouryears. The Bruins also defeated preseason SunBelt Conference favorite Middle TennesseeState and defending Ohio Valley Conferencechampion Austin Peay, not to mention losingat the buzzer at nationally-ranked Tennessee.

Widely-regarded for his offensive philosophiesand halfcourt execution, Byrd continues torewrite the coaching record books. With 561career victories, Byrd ranks 11th among allactive NCAA Division-I head coaches in wins.Moreover, only six head coaches in the nationhave been at their respective institutionslonger than Byrd’s 23 years of service atBelmont. Under Byrd’s guidance, the Bruinshave won 88 games and nearly 80 percent oftheir conference games over the past fouryears.

Postseason honors poured in for Byrd’s starplayer, dynamic point guard Alex Renfroe.The lightning quick floor general became thesecond Bruin to earn All-America honors fromthe Associated Press. Renfroe was also namedAll-District by the NABC and Basketball Timesand a Mid-Major All-American byCollegeInsider.com and CollegeHoopsNet.com.

Byrd led Belmont to a third consecutiveNCAA Tournament appearance in 2007-08. Infact, Belmont is one of just six programs in thecountry to earn an automatic bid in the NCAATournament three consecutive years.Moreover, the Bruins became the first memberinstitution in Atlantic Sun Conference historyto win the three straight conference tourna-ment championships. Belmont finished the2007-08 campaign with a 25-9 record - a single-season program record for wins and its fourth20-win season in five years. The remarkableseason included marquee non-conference victo-ries over Big East stalwart Cincinnati and SECpower Alabama, which led to national press inUSA Today and ESPN among others. TheBruins then elevated their play to another levelduring the heart of conference action. Belmontwent a program-record 14-2 in the league enroute to its first-ever outright Atlantic SunConference regular season championship.Then with tournament wins over Campbell,ETSU, and Jacksonville, the Bruins carried astaggering 13-game win streak into the ‘BigDance.’ - the program’s longest winning streakof its NCAA era and the nation’s third-longestentering postseason play.

But all that pales in comparison to the her-culean effort the Bruins put forth in theirNCAA Tournament first round game againstthree-time national champion Duke. A prohib-itive underdog as a No. 15 seed in the WestRegion, Belmont stood toe-to-toe with the BlueDevils for 40 minutes. With the support of theoverwhelming majority of a jammed-packedVerizon Center in Washington, D.C. and mil-lions watching nationwide, Belmont overcamea 42-35 halftime deficit to claim several leadslate in the contest. All that kept Belmont fromone of the greatest victories in college basket-ball history was a coast-to-coast drive fromGerald Henderson with 12 seconds remaining.Three opportunities in the final seconds wouldnarrowly miss, and the Bruins would lose toDuke, 71-70.

Effusive praise of Coach Byrd and the Bruinspoured in over the days and weeks to come -from media and the coaching community alike.With apologies to the Dallas Cowboys, for atleast one night in March, Belmont Basketballwas ‘America’s Team.’

Predictably, postseason honors were plentiful.Byrd was named Atlantic Sun ConferenceCoach of the Year, by the league and numer-ous publications. Moreover, Byrd was selectedas one of 10 finalists for the inaugural SkipProsser Man of the Year Award, an award tobe given annually to a Division I head coachwho best represents the high standards of thecoaching profession: Winning with integrity.

Justin Hare was named First Team All-Atlantic Sun and Atlantic Sun All-Tournament Team - among countless honorsreceived by the senior. Shane Dansby earnedAtlantic Sun Tournament MVP honors aswell as Second Team All-Atlantic Sun.Matthew Dotson also was named to the All-Tournament Team while Jordan Campbellbecame the latest Bruin to garner A-Sun All-Freshman honors.

Belmont ended 2007-08 ranked 11th in the finalMid Major poll on CollegeInsider.com -representing the highest-ever final ranking byan A-Sun team and third time in the last fiveyears so recognized. Belmont’s 78 in the RPIalso reflected a program-best. The Bruins ledthe Atlantic Sun Conference in six statisticalcategories. Furthermore, Belmont finished oneof its most outstanding offensive seasonsranked in the Top-40 nationally in fivestatistical categories, including ranking fourthin three-point field goals per game.

2006-07 was yet another year cloaked withpressure and high expectations. Nevertheless,behind Byrd's leadership, Belmont answeredevery call. There were non-conference winsover formidable programs like Rice, Fordham,and Arkansas-Little Rock; the latter of whichon December 13, 2006, gave Byrd 500 careervictories and placed him as one of just 15 activehead coaches in Division I to have reached thatmilestone. After going 14-4 in conference play,the Bruins stormed past Gardner-Webb,Campbell, and ETSU to earn a second straightAtlantic Sun Championship and successivetrip to the NCAA Tournament. Belmontreceived a 15 seed in the East Regional, wherethey played Big East Champion and eventualFinal Four representative Georgetown.

23-10 mark. The Bruins were ranked 25th in the final Mid Major poll onCollegeInsider.com. During the season, Byrd was also honored byCollegeInsider.com with a 'Coach of the Week' award.

Justin Hare and Boomer Herndon led Belmont's postseason honor parade,being named First Team and Second Team All-Atlantic Sun, respectively.Hare once again was named Atlantic Sun Tournament MVP, while AndyWicke and Andrew Preston joined him on the All-Tournament Team.

Yet as an even greater source of pride, Byrd has overseen a programcharacterized by unparalleled academic achievement. For eight consecu-tive years, the Bruins have compiled a team G.P.A. of 3.0 or higher. Sincejoining the Atlantic Sun eight years ago, Belmont paces the league with awhopping 79 players making the Atlantic Sun All-Academic honoree list -far and away the league standard. Justin Hare carries the academic bannerfor the Bruins: Three-time Academic All-District, two-time AcademicAll-American by CoSida and two-time Division I-AAA AthleticDirectors Association Academic Team. Of the 65 NCAA Tournamentteams, Belmont ranked third in the most recent NCAA AcademicProgress Rate (APR) report. The APR classified Belmont men's basketballas one of the premier academic programs in the country.

In 2008-09, Andy Wicke added to the academic legacy of BelmontBasketball, receiving the program’s eighth Academic All-America honor.Belmont leads the nation in Academic All-Americans for men’s basketballsince 2001. Moreover, Wicke was recognized at the 2009 Final Four inDetroit as one of 10 finalists for the prestigious Lowe’s Senior CLASSAward. He also joined Hare in receiving a coveted NCAA PostgraduateScholarship.

In addition, Belmont University has received the prestigious Atlantic SunConference Academic Trophy seven of the eight six years. Six of the lasteight Atlantic Sun Male Student-Athletes of the Year have been BelmontBasketball players, while the program’s three top scorers (Wes Burtner,Justin Hare and Adam Mark) have become Academic All-Americans.Bruin standout Wes Burtner landed CollegeInsider.com's NCAAStudent-Athlete of the Year award in 1998.

Byrd led the Bruins to its first dream campaign in 2005-06 - surely one ofthe most memorable seasons in school history. With a 15-5 mark duringAtlantic Sun Conference play, Belmont earned its first regular seasonchampionship in team history. But the landmark achievements weremerely beginning for Byrd and his team. Victories over Campbell,Stetson, and rival Lipscomb in Johnson City earned Belmont its firstAtlantic Sun Conference Tournament title and a berth in the NCAATournament. The Bruins received a 15 seed in the Oakland regional,where they played Pac-10 Champion and eventual National Runner-upUCLA.

Belmont ended with a sterling 20-11 record. All told for 2005-06, Belmontranked fourth nationally in field goal percentage (.493), eighth in scoringoffense (80.6 ppg), and 15th in assists (16.7 apg). Furthermore, Belmonthas ranked in the top five in the NCAA in three-point shooting six of thelast nine years.

The University of Tennessee graduate holds an all-time record of 561-316and is 469-261 at Belmont. Byrd's 469 victories are more than any othercoach in Belmont basketball history and they account for roughly half ofthe school's all-time wins.

On December 30, 2003, Belmont knocked off #23 Missouri to give theschool its first victory over a top-25 opponent. Consequently, Byrd and histeam received major media interest from ESPN radio and Dick Vitale'sweekly ESPN.com column. The Bruins kept it rolling, posting an eight-game win streak in Atlantic Sun play en route to a third place finish inthe league. Byrd would register 20 wins for the first time since the team'sarrival in Division I.

On the strength of their top-100 RPI and 21 victories, Belmont received aberth in the National Invitational Tournament (NIT) where they facedlocal rival Austin Peay. The team finished the season ranked 23rd inCollegeInsider.com's Mid-Major Top-25.

"It is hard to imagine Belmont basketball without immediately thinkingof Rick Byrd," stated Director of Athletics Mike Strickland. "We couldnot ask for a better person to lead our team. He has positioned the pro-gram to compete at the top of the Atlantic Sun Conference annually."

This marked the second straight impressive season for the Bruins.Belmont captured the A-Sun North Division title in 2002 as the league

experimented with a divisional setup. Consequently, the Bruins were thenumber two seed in the postseason tournament.

Conference competition has been an area where Byrd has really shined. Inhis career, the Knoxville, Tenn., native is 301-86 in league play, a remarkable.778 winning percentage. Moreover, Belmont is an eye-opening 108-38 inAtlantic Sun Conference games over the past seven seasons. In 1994-95, heled Belmont to a perfect 18-0 record en route to the Tennessee CollegiateAthletic Conference Championship. He has earned District or ConferenceCoach of the Year accolades on six separate occasions, most recently receiv-ing the NAIA National Coach of the Year award after leading Belmont toan historical 37-2 record in 1994-95. That season saw Belmont climb tonumber one in the national polls for the first time and marked the school'ssecond of consecutive appearance in the NAIA Final Four. Byrd ledBelmont to three TCAC titles in all. Prior, he directed Lincoln Memorial toa pair of conference championships in a three-year stint from 1983-1986.

In 1998-99, Byrd earned the Tennessee Men's College Basketball Coach ofthe Year honor as selected by the Tennessee Sports Writers Associationafter Belmont finished 14-13 in its second season as a member of Division I.Among the 14 victories were road wins over NCAA Tournament partici-pants Samford and Winthrop as well as a home win over NIT SemifinalistButler. Belmont won all four games it played against mid-state rivalsMiddle Tennessee, Austin Peay and Tennessee State to earn local braggingrights.

Byrd's accomplishments are many: he received the Nashville Area AthleticClub's Reese L. Smith Award for achievement and community service in1995. That same year, Rick was named NAIA National Coach of the Yearas well as Tennessee Collegiate Athletic Conference Coach of the Year. AtLincoln Memorial University, where he posted a three-year record of 69-28,Byrd was chosen as NAIA District 24 Coach of the Year and TennesseeValley Athletic Conference Coach of the Year twice. In 1989, while atBelmont, he was selected District 24 Coach of the Year and Area V Coachof the Year.

Prior to Belmont University's decision to join the NCAA, Byrd had moldedits men's basketball program into a veritable NAIA powerhouse. Belmontmade five NAIA national tournament appearances under Byrd's direction,including trips to the semifinals in 1995 and 1996 and a spot in thequarterfinals in 1994. They won three Tennessee Collegiate AthleticConference championships, and finished second in the league another fivetimes. The 1993-94 team also received the Dr. James NaismithSportsmanship Award. Byrd coached six players who earned a total of 11NAIA All-America honors, including Joe Behling, a first-team All-American in 1988, 1989 and 1990 and the 1989 NAIA National Player of theYear; Kerry West, a 1995 first-team selection; and DaQuinn Goff, a 1996first-team choice.

After beginning his coaching career in 1976 with a two-year stint asassistant coach at Maryville College, Byrd became head coach at Maryville.His two-year record of 23-27 is misleading, as Maryville's 15-11 ledger inByrd's second season was the school's best mark in 31 years. He was hiredas assistant coach at Tennessee Tech in 1980 and served three years inCookeville before becoming head coach at Lincoln Memorial in 1983.

Byrd also has served in an administrative capacity at Belmont. He wasDirector of Athletics from 1986 to 1991 and acting Director of Athletics for abrief period before Mike Strickland was named to the post in the fall of1996.

In 1990, Byrd was instrumental in creating the Vince Gill Celebrity Game,an event that raised money for the Bruins' basketball team and Belmont'sSchool of Music Business. Joining forces with his good friend and golfingpartner Gill, Byrd spearheaded an overwhelming success.

A graduate of Knoxville's Doyle High School, Byrd was an honors studentat the University of Tennessee; earning a bachelor's degree in physicaleducation in 1976 and a master's degree in physical education in 1977. Whilein Knoxville, he was a student assistant coach under the legendary RayMears.

CASEY ALEXANDERASSOCIATE HEAD COACH

THE ALEXANDERFILE

Hometown:Nashville, Tenn.

Education:Belmont UniversityPhysical EducationB.A., 1995Austin Peay State Univ.Sports AdministrationM.S., 1996

Coaching Experience:Belmont

Associate Head Coach2002-present

Assistant Coach, 1995-02

Family:Wife, Sunni; children Allie,Reed, Mason

Casey Alexander is entering his 15th year as a member of the Belmont basketball staff. In the summer of 2002,Alexander was promoted to Associate Head Coach.

Alexander's work with the team focuses on the perimeter players, especially the point guards. He also takes alead role in scouting reports, offensive play institution, recruiting, schedule, and game-planning. Much ofBelmont’s winning tradition can attributed to Alexander’s drive and high standards - both as a player andcoach. It is no wonder why he is universally respected by his peers.

Without question, Alexander played a lead role in the development of decorated point guard Alex Renfroe.From one standout collegiate point guard to another, Alexander molded Renfroe’s immense physical gifts intoa refined force on both ends of the floor. As a senior, Renfroe led the Bruins in scoring, rebounding, assists,blocked shots and field goal percentage - believed to be the first college basketball player since Tim Duncan in1997 to lead his team in all five categories.

Renfroe was also one of just four players nationally - along with Florida's Nick Calathes, Duquesne's AaronJackson and Idaho's Mac Hopson - to average at least 15 points, five rebounds and five assists per game.

Renfroe earned AP All-America honors, NABC and Basketball Times All-District Honors and was named 2009Atlantic Sun Player of the Year.

Alexander brought the most out of former All-Conference guards Andy Wicke and Justin Hare. Wicke fin-ished his career with 1,236 points and 303 three-point field goals - good for second on the Atlantic SunConference’s all-time list. Meanwhile, Hare finished his career with a staggering 1,761 career points - theneighth on the conference’s all-time scoring list. Moreover, both were Academic All-Americans.

Alexander has also developed current Bruin guards Drew Hanlen and Jonny Rice as well as grooming incom-ing freshmen Ian Clark and Kerron Johnson. Coach Alexander's scouting reports and attention to detail greatlycontributed to Belmont's near-upset of three-time National Champion Duke in the 2008 NCAA Tournament.

In addition to these duties, he also assists in various aspects of the recruiting process and oversees the off-sea-son individual workouts for perimeter players. During his time at Belmont, the Bruins have ranked in the top-25 nationally in three-pointers per game 12 times and were the only team in the NCAA from 1998-2002 that fin-ished in the top four in that category each season. Behind Belmont's strong guard play, the Bruins have rankedamong the NCAA's leaders in field goal percentage, scoring, and assists. Moreover, in 2006-07, behindimproved perimeter defense, Alexander helped Belmont lead the Atlantic Sun and ranked second in theNCAA in three-point field goal percentage defense (.285).

Under Coach Alexander's tutelage, Belmont has garnered Atlantic Sun All-Freshman recognition five of thelast seven years: Brian Collins (2003), Josh Goodwin (2004), Justin Hare (2005), Andy Wicke (2006), JordanCampbell (2008). Aside from the aforementioned players, Alexander was instrumental in the development ofAll-Atlantic Sun player Steve Drabyn, who led the nation in free throw percentage in 2003 (.951).

Alexander enjoyed a stellar four-year career (1992-95) at Belmont, establishing himself among the top 10 in sev-eral of the school's career statistical categories. As the team's captain, he earned a spot on the All-TennesseeCollegiate Athletic Conference team in 1995 when Belmont posted a 37-2 overall record and an 18-0 TCACmark. Belmont registered a 119-25 record during Alexander's career. For his contributions both as a player andcoach, Alexander was inducted into the Belmont University Athletic Hall of Fame on October 7th, 2005.

Alexander was ranked as the No. 5 'Mid Major Assistant Coach' in the nation according to FoxSports.com seniorcollege basketball writer Jeff Goodman and No. 6 ‘ Mid Major Assistant Coach’ by Jason Belzer ofCollegeInsider.com.

Alexander is a product of Brentwood Academy where he was a three-sport standout, playing in five statechampionship games, capturing two. His success as a high school and collegiate athlete is part of the reason heis so highly valued by head coach Rick Byrd. Alexander received a bachelor's degree in physical education fromBelmont in 1995 and a master's degree in sports management from Austin Peay State University in 1996.

He and his wife, the former Sunni Dixon, also a 1995 Belmont graduate, are the parents of three children: Allie(10), Reed (7) and Mason (4). They reside in Franklin, Tennessee.

Coach Byrd on Casey Alexander:“For almost two decades, as either a player orcoach, Casey has been an integral part of thesuccess of our basketball program. Without hisconsistent push for excellence from all of us,coaches or players, our program would havefallen short of where we are today. Casey wasa pleasure to coach; he is even better to workwith. Loyalty to our program and our universi-ty is a hallmark of Casey's daily work. Hisknowledge of the game and his outstandingability to teach the fundamentals will make hima top flight head coach someday soon.”

Brian Ayers begins his 12th season on the Bruins' coaching staff.

Ayers specializes in post-play instruction - offensive moves, footwork, positioning, and teamdefense. His instruction is one of the main reasons why Belmont is annually among the nation'sleaders in field goal percentage shooting and offensive efficiency.

Sonn was named Atlantic Sun Player of the Year in 2003 while all-time great Adam Mark led theNCAA in field goal percentage as a sophomore and a junior. Mark ran his total of A-Sun Player ofthe Week honors to seven, the second most in conference history en route to back-to-back firstteam All-Atlantic Sun accolades.

In 2007-08, Ayers helped expand the game of forward Matthew Dotson - who showcased a varietyof back to the basket moves in Belmont's near-upset of three-time National Champion Duke inthe 2008 NCAA Tournament.

His continued work and patience with former all-conference centers Boomer Herndon andAndrew Preston reaped huge dividends as the duo ranked second and third in the Atlantic Sun infield goal percentage respectively in 2006-07. A year earlier, the Bruins led the Atlantic Sun andranked fourth nationally in field goal percentage (.493). Moreover, Ayers helped Belmont enjoyone of the greatest single-season improvements in rebounding margin in program history - a bigreason why the Bruins reached their first NCAA Tournament.

Ayers has also aided the development current post players Mike Dejworek, Mick Hedgepeth andScott Saunders - not to mention Keaton Belcher and incoming freshman Trevor Noack - the latestin a long line of productive post players for Belmont.

Besides his work with the Bruins in the paint, he also handles opponent scouting, recruiting, andworks in concert with the strength and conditioning staff on the individual workout programs forBelmont student-athletes.

Ayers, a native of Clarksville, Tennessee, spent two years on staff at Vanderbilt University.During that time, the Commodores made one trip to the NCAA tournament. Prior to that, heserved as an assistant coach at Austin Peay. While with the Governors' program, Austin Peaywon the 1996 Ohio Valley Conference Tournament Championship and advanced to the NCAATournament. Brian also served as an assistant coach at Nashville's David Lipscomb High Schoolfor one season, helping the Mustangs to a 28-6 record and the Class AA semifinals in 1995.

Ayers played his college basketball at Lipscomb University. He served as team captain his juniorand senior years and earned NAIA Academic All-America honors. During Ayers' four year career,the Bisons compiled a record of 141-18 and advanced to one NAIA Final Four, two Elite Eights, andone Sweet Sixteen. He graduated from Lipscomb in 1993 while earning a master's degree in sportsmanagement from Austin Peay State University in 1996.

Ayers has two sons: Taylor (10) and Luke (7).

Coach Byrd on Brian Ayers:“Brian’s role in developing our post playersinto all-conference players has been well-docu-mented. But his organization and attention todetail are invaluable assets for our program ona daily basis. Brian’s ability to teach the game- especially post instruction - is among the bestin our profession. Simply put, BelmontUniversity is fortunate to have a person ofCoach Ayers’ character and loyalty.”

BRUIN FLASHBACKTHE COMEBACK IN THE CREEKFebruary 6, 2009Pope Convocation Center - - Buies Creek, N.C.Belmont Bruins 22 65 87Campbell Camels 37 47 84

BUIES CREEK, N.C. - - Words truly cannot do it justice. Those in attendance willnever forget what they witnessed. Simply put, what happened Friday night in theCarolina sandhills will go down as the most remarkable victory in Belmont Basketballhistory. Trailing by 18 points with 3:27 remaining, the Bruins outscored Campbell 30-9down the stretch to claim a stirring and emotional 87-84 victory. When Matt Gwynnebroke Belmont pressure for a conventional three-point play, Campbell led 75-57 with 3:27remaining. For what transpired next would defy description: arguably one of the greatestcomeback in college basketball history. Though Campbell was already in the doublebonus, the Bruins elected to foul and see what happened from the free throw line.Renfroe and Shane Dansby sparked the Bruin comeback, and Campbell missed freethrows aided the cause. Despite growing nervousness and anxiety from the partisanPope Convocation Center crowd, Rodriguez sank two free throws moments later tomake the score 80-69 with 1:42 left. Renfroe again orchestrated the Belmont open courtattack, driving and finding Dotson open for three to get Belmont within 80-72 with 1:35remaining. After going 2-for-24 from three-point range for the first 36 minutes of thegame, Dansby's ho-hum three-pointer at the 3:39 mark ripped the lid off the Belmontbasket. Once again Belmont would press and foul, and Hartley proceeded to miss twofree throws with 1:21 left. Renfroe raced to the basket and scored in a flash to getBelmont within 80-74 with 1:14 to go. After one Merthie free throw with 1:11 left, Wickeripped the nets again from behind the arc to make the score 81-77 with 1:05 remaining.After a timeout and a foul in press defense, Dodson made one of two free throws to giveCampbell an 82-77 edge with 55 seconds left. Dansby snatched a huge offensive reboundand was fouled on a putback attempt with 41 seconds left. He made both free throws toget Belmont within 82-79. After another Bruin foul, Hartley sank both free throws toextend Campbell's lead to 84-79 with 40 seconds remaining. But Renfroe continued to beindefensible, weaving through the Camel defense and scoring while being fouled byRodriguez. Renfroe completed the three-point play to make the score 84-82 with 34 sec-onds remaining. After a near steal and jump-ball situation in front of the Bruin bench, aloose ball deflected across the court and possession was awarded to Campbell. Hartleythen threw a baseball pass down court against Belmont pressure without a Camel playernearby. The ball rolled out-of-bounds untouched and possession went to the Bruins with28 seconds to go. Belmont then freed Dotson for a baseline three-pointer, which he sankover recovering Campbell defense, to give the Bruins an 85-84 lead with 21 secondsremaining; Belmont's first lead since 2-0. With both teams out of timeouts, Campbellraced the ball into the frontcourt, with Merthie missing a contested layin attempt with 11seconds left. A mad scramble for the loose ball rebound ensued with Belmont gainingpossession on the arrow. The Bruins got the ball to Wicke, who was fouled with nineseconds left. He calmly sank both free throws to give Belmont an 87-84 lead. TheCamels had one final chance, but freshman Drew Hanlen defended Amir Celestin welland his off-balance three-pointer at the buzzer missed.

2008-09 SEASON IN REVIEW

he 2008-09 Belmont Basketball season had more intrigue,excitement and unforeseen twists and turns than a JasonBourne movie. And much like the actor Matt Damonsearching for his true identity amidst a slew of challenges

and adversity, so to the Belmont Bruins sought to redefine them-selves through a season of change. Following a 25-win campaign in2007-08 that culminated in a near-miss against three-time NationalChampion Duke in the NCAA Tournament, expectations were highfor the Bruins. Especially with five proven and championship-testedseniors returning. But from the start, Belmont was forced to dealwith an untimely injury bug. Reigning Atlantic Sun TournamentMVP Shane Dansby battled through injuries to both ankles andmainstay Matthew Dotson labored through season-long plantar fasci-itis. A third starter, Jordan Campbell, was lost for the season in earlyDecember. Yet injuries are part of any sporting competition, andhead coach Rick Byrd would be the last to use those setbacks as anexcuse. Rather, he challenged his team to rise above and asked for anon-court leader to emerge. Enter Alex Renfroe. Strengthened bysparkling national performances against Cincinnati, Alabama andDuke the year earlier, the self-described “scrawny” point guard fromHermitage, Tenn. delivered electrifying performances time aftertime. Behind Renfroe’s lead, the Bruins produced a fifth 20+win sea-son and fifth postseason appearance in six years time. The Bruin pro-gram took another meaningful step forward and cemented its placeamong the mid-major elite.

OPENING ACT

A boisterous crowd - Tennessean Titan star and Samford alumnusCortland Finnegan among them - of over 3,000 packed the CurbEvent Center as the Bruins unveiled their 2008 Atlantic SunChampionship and NCAA Tournament banner prior to tip-off withSamford Nov. 14. And despite earning an 82-73 victory over theBulldogs in Birmingham the previous November, the Bruins knewthat facing Samford's unconventional Princeton offense and amoeba-style defense would be a handful to start the season. But behindstrong defense and a career-high five steals from Andy Wicke,Belmont defeated Samford 78-60.

After a heartbreaking loss to Austin Peay three days later on twofree throws from Drake Reed with under one second remaining,Belmont headed to Pittsburgh to take on the then-fourth rankedPanthers. Jamie Dixon’s squad was tabbed as a Final Four contenderat season inception. The bruising, defensive-minded Pitt team was asadvertised, but Belmont more than held its own. The Bruins wereone of the few teams in 2008-09 to outrebound Pittsburgh, holding amassive 44-34 edge on the glass. Moreover, Belmont grabbed 25offensive rebounds but could only muster four second chance points.Despite getting as close as four points in the second half, that icyshooting and 33 points from Sam Young resulted in a 74-60 final.

GETTING ON TRACK

Belmont put its trademark three-point shooting on full display atTennessee State Dec. 1. Behind blazing marksmanship fromMatthew Dotson, the Bruins beat the Tigers convincingly, 91-63.Then after another stomach-turning, last-second loss - this time atJacksonville - Belmont responded with 15-for-25 three-point shootingin blitzing North Florida. However, the victory came at a steep price,as versatile swingman Jordan Campbell would be lost for the season. Arguably the Bruins’ best showing of the season came Dec. 17 athome against area rival Middle Tennessee State. Belmont outworkedand outexecuted the preseason pick to win the Sun Belt Conference.Renfroe’s 25 points and Wicke’s 22 carried Belmont to an impressive82-69 triumph over the talented Blue Raiders.

That Saturday, Belmont headed east on I-40 to Knoxville to takeon Coach Byrd’s alma mater, Tennessee. The nationally-ranked Volssported a 35-game home court winning streak and were 26-0 in non-conference home games under Bruce Pearl. But right from the start,Belmont took notice that it was not intimidated by Tennessee’s finerecord at Thompson-Boling Arena. After a nip and tuck first half,the Bruins used a quick 10-0 run to open the second half to claim a50-44 lead. Renfroe relentlessly attacked the basket and scored seem-ingly at will. Tennessee had no answer for the Belmont point guard’sdarting drives. A late desperation three-pointer from Bobby Mazeput Tennessee on top before the Bruins answered back. Trailing 79-77 with time winding down, Renfroe was fouled on a drive with lessthan two seconds left. But the best player on the court that day hadhis first throw attempt rim off. Renfroe’s career-high 30 point effortjust fell short. The Bruins were an eyelash from a second straightSEC win.

BAY AREA, THEN BOUNCE BACK

Belmont avenged the earlier loss to Austin Peay with an impres-sive defensive performance in a 72-62 win in Clarksville Dec. 22.Following Christmas, the team headed to California to take part inSanta Clara’s annual Cable Car Classic. The Bruins had been in theBay Area just two years prior, defeating Rice and losing in the finalseconds to host Saint Mary’s (CA). Belmont played one of its besthalves in years in building a 46-28 halftime lead against the hostBroncos Dec. 29. The Bruins frustrated West Coast ConferencePlayer of the Year candidate Big John Bryant and were clicking onall cylinders offensively. But following the jersey retirement of for-mer Santa Clara and Los Angeles Laker great Kurt Rambis at half-time, mysteriously the tide quickly turned. A flurry of Bronco three-pointers cut into the hard-earned Bruin advantage and thoughBelmont got solid performances from Dotson and Wicke, too manysurrendered offensive rebounds spelled an 83-80 loss. A tough outingagainst James Madison the next day prompted Coach Byrd to ask theteam to do some soul-searching. Greater personal accountability andrespect for each possession was required. The team responded withchampionship form.

Commanding wins over Stetson, Florida Gulf Coast and Campbellopened the conference home slate before Lipscomb arrived Jan. 12.Strong play from Wicke and Renfroe enabled the Bruins to pushback the Bisons in another classic Boulevard game, 79-74. A fifthstraight conference win came Jan. 17, as gutsy performances fromRenfroe and Jon House helped the Bruins outlast USC Upstate.

MILESTONES AND COMEBACKS

Matthew Dotson scored a career-high 27 points and eclipsed the1,000 point plateau Jan. 24 in Belmont’s victory over Kennesaw State. Earlier in January, Andy Wicke went over 1,000 career points againstCampbell, while fellow senior Shane Dansby would also reach thatmilestone by year’s end. Alex Renfroe’s 24 points and career-high 18rebounds helped lift Belmont past Mercer while 11-for-18 first halfthree-point shooting propelled the Bruins over Florida Gulf Coast inFort Myers. That blistering outside shooting would come in handyFeb. 6 at Campbell, as Belmont would need every last point againstthe upstart Camels. Campbell, in its first regionally-televised sinceopening the Pope Convocation Center, hit shots from all angles inbuilding a healthy lead into the second half. In fact, Matt Gwynne’sconventional three-point play with 3:27 remaining gave Campbell aseemingly insurmountable 75-57 lead. But in a total team effort thatwill go down in the annals of Belmont Basketball history, the Bruinsoutscored the Camels 30-9 in the final 3:27 to seize an 87-84 win.Dotson buried the game-winning baseline three-pointer with 21 sec-

onds left and freshman Drew Hanlen stepped up on the final defen-sive possession for a stop. After going 2-for-24 from three-pointrange in the first 36 minutes of the game, Belmont made six threepointers down the stretch and did not have an empty possession.USA Today chronicled the huge comeback in a feature article laterthat week.

A week later, the Bruins hosted East Tennessee State in anotheremotional, stirring contest that went down to the wire. Trailing 64-53with under eight minutes remaining and with its regular seasonchampionship aspirations hanging in the balance, the Bruins onceagain engineered a spirited comeback. But rather than the usual sus-pects of Renfroe, Wicke, Dotson and Dansby, this time Belmont gotmajor offensive production from less expected options. Huge playsfrom Henry Harris, Drew Hanlen and Jon House set the stage forDotson to bury his second game-winning three-pointer in eight days.However, the outcome was not decided until a final defensiverebound and two clutch free throws from freshman Mick Hedgepethgave the Bruins a 76-73 win. Two more double-doubles from AlexRenfroe pushed Belmont to double figure victories over USCUpstate and Kennesaw State and put the Bruins back atop theAtlantic Sun Conference standings at 13-4.

MARCH MADNESS COMES EARLY

With three games remaining in the regular season, Belmont waswell-positioned for its third regular season conference championshipin four years. Feb. 22, the Bruins traveled to Macon, Ga. to take onMercer. In a game eerily reminiscent of the one played in NashvilleJan. 26, the Bruins and Bears matched each other shot for shot. JamesFlorence’s 21 first half points gave Mercer a 41-36 halftime lead.Belmont hung tough and rode the shooting of Shane Dansby andtypical brilliance of Renfroe in the second half. The Bruins took a 75-71 lead with just over three minutes remaining, before a sequence ofbad breaks and misfortune ensued. Strange bounces, missed shotsand Mercer field goal conversions resulted in a painful 89-83 loss.

Belmont responded later that week with a complete performanceagainst North Florida. The Bruins shot 61 percent in the first halfwhile limiting the Ospreys to only eight field goals in building a 53-22 halftime edge. Four Bruins scored in double figures in the 87-49victory.

Later that same night, Jacksonville would lose at Lipscomb, settingthe stage for a one-game, winner-take-all showdown on Senior Daybetween the Bruins and Dolphins. Belmont defeated Jacksonville 79-61 to win the 2008 Atlantic Sun Conference Tournament and theteam was hoping for a similar outcome. The game marked the firsttime in Atlantic Sun Conference history that the co-leaders in theleague standings would meet in the final game of the regular seasonto decide an outright conference champion.

A jam-packed Homecoming crowd filled the Curb Event Center,and the game served as an official kickoff to championship week.Following a moving pre-game ceremony honoring all five Belmontseniors - Henry Harris, Andy Wicke, Matthew Dotson, ShaneDansby and Alex Renfroe - Jacksonville raced out to a 17-point firsthalf lead. Renfroe asserted himself late in the opening 20 minutes toget the Bruins within 40-29 at the break.

Trailing by as many as 18 early in the second half, Renfroe chan-neled the virtuoso form he had displayed at Tennessee - and largelythroughout the season - to will the Bruins back in the game. Scoringfrom all angles, Renfroe got Belmont within 54-51 with 5:42 left inregulation. But just as 'Uncle Mo' was swinging into Belmont'sfavor, two consecutive contested three-pointers by Ben Smith gaveJacksonville a seemingly insurmountable 64-54 lead with 2:25 to go.Yet Belmont simply fought onward. Tevin Galvin missed two freethrows with seven seconds left, opening the door for Renfroe to race

coast-to-coast and score before the buzzer sounded and force over-time tied at 71. As expected, Renfroe carried the scoring torch inovertime. Two Jon House free throws gave Belmont an 82-80 leadwith 47 seconds left in overtime. Jacksonville then tried to free all-conference guard Smith, who passed to the top of the key to centerMarcus Allen - 6-for-27 from three-point range on the season enter-ing the day. Allen sank a three-pointer with 35 seconds left to giveJacksonville an 83-82 lead. The Bruins missed on their final twooffensive possessions and dropped an agonizing two-point decision,84-82. Renfroe had a Curb Event Center record 38 points and added 11rebounds.

TITLE DEFENSE

Belmont opened defense of its three consecutive Atlantic SunChampionships Mar. 5 against Mercer. Less than two weeks separat-ed from the high scoring affair in Macon, the Bruins stormed out toa 39-25 lead in the first half. But with foul trouble and unusually coldthree-point shooting surfacing in the second half, Mercer inchedcloser. James Florence put the Bears ahead with a running bank shotwith nine seconds left, before Mick Hedgepeth saved the day. TheCrossville, Ala. native rebounded an Andy Wicke miss and scored aputback basket with under one second remaining to give the Bruins athrilling 65-64 victory. It marked Belmont’s tenth consecutive victo-ry in the Atlantic Sun Tournament, a league record. The followingnight proved to be the rubber match of 2009 between Belmont andEast Tennessee State. Not only were the Bucs seeking to put theValentine’s Day loss to Belmont behind them, but also exorcisedemons from conference tournament losses to the Bruins in 2007 and2008. Belmont led much of the first half, but foul trouble for Renfroe,Dansby and House handcuffed Coach Byrd’s rotation. Hot shootingfrom Courtney Pigram allowed ETSU to claim a modest lead. TheBruins would not go away and with three minutes left clawed withintwo points on a Dansby three-pointer. But clutch plays down thestretch from Kevin Tiggs gave ETSU the win and ended the Bruins’historic four year postseason tournament run. Despite the sting ofnarrowly missing out on reaching a fourth straight NCAATournament, the final chapter on the 2008-09 Bruins had not beenwritten.

NEW BEGINNING, NEW TOURNAMENT

Belmont received and accepted an invitation to play in the 2009CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament (CIT). In its inauguralseason, the CIT brought together 16 distinguished mid major pro-grams in a single-elimination postseason format. For the Bruins, itmarked the program’s fifth postseason appearance in six years. Theflex bracket saw Belmont draw Evansville in the opening round. Thetalented and tradition-rich Purple Aces of the Missouri Valleyentered with an impressive 15-3 record at home. But these proudBruins once again rose to the occasion and made their mark in anoth-er hostile environment. Behind 29 points from Alex Renfroe, acareer-high 15 points from freshman Jonny Rice, and a season-high 17three-point field goals, Belmont defeated Evansville 92-76. The winwas the program’s first NCAA-era postseason victory. Five dayslater, Belmont trekked to the tidewater of Virginia to take on peren-nial CAA power Old Dominion. Despite giving up three to fourinches per position to the hulking host Monarchs, Belmont ledthroughout. The Bruins led 58-57 with 3:45 left before the eventualCIT champion Monarchs broke free late. The Bruins finished theseason 20-13.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - A boisterous crowd -Tennessee Titan star and Samford alumnus CortlandFinnegan among them - of over 3,000 packed the CurbEvent Center as the Bruins unveiled their 2008 AtlanticSun Championship and NCAA Tournament banner priorto tip-off...Belmont would get off and running quickly, asShane Dansby buried a wing three-pointer for the Bruins'first points of the year...Henry Harris ripped the netsfrom the baseline to push the Bruin lead to 20-8 less thanmidway through the first half...Two triples in a 20 secondspan from Matthew Dotson increased the Bruin edge to15, 33-18, with 1:58 in the half. But Samford would scorethe final six points of the half to trim the margin to nine,33-24, at the break. After another Belcher three-pointerand a Dansby conventional three-point play, Andy Wickehad a hand in nine of the next 12 Bruin points as the leadswelled to 57-37 with 12:24 left. The Bruins led by as manyas 22 points before head coach Rick Byrd elected to pro-vide extended playing time for his talented crop of new-comers.

November 17, 2008Curb Event Center - - Nashville, Tenn.Austin Peay Governors 37 49 86Belmont Bruins 49 35 84

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - A foul call with 0.2 secondsremaining in regulation provided the final margin asBelmont men's basketball dropped a heartbreaking 86-84decision to Austin Peay Monday night. In last year'smeeting in Nashville, the Governors torched the CurbEvent Center nets at an arena record 60 point clip in theopening 20 minutes. And the visitors from Clarksvilleopened in similar fashion this go round...Belmont shot 52percent from the floor in the opening stanza (17-for-33) -including 7-for 16 from three-point range in building a 12point lead...Jon House opened the second half with alayin to increase Belmont's lead to 14, 51-37, with 19:51 togo...But the Govs slowly worked themselves back into thegame. After a layin from Dejworek got Belmont backwithin three points, Channels stroked back-to-back deepthree-pointers to put the Bruins in a 79-70 hole with 4:53left...A conventional three-point play from KeatonBelcher and a second-effort tip-in from Renfroe got theBruins within 82-80 with 1:26 remaining...But following arare Channels miss, Duran Roberson corralled a keyoffensive rebound for Austin Peay, returning the ball toChannels, who was later fouled attacking the rim. Histwo free throws stretched the lead back to four...After aRenfroe turnover, Jordan Campbell stole the ball forBelmont in press defense and was fouled on the offensiveglass. He made one of two free throws to get the Bruinswithin three points. Channels was fouled followingCampbell's miss of the back end of free throws, but with25 seconds left, he missed the front end of an Austin Peayone-and-one. Renfroe proceeded to speed down the courtand nearly score while being fouled, but his layin spunout with 18 seconds to go. But the senior then missed bothfree throws. Yet, Austin Peay lost control of the reboundto give the Bruins new life...A potential game-tying three-pointer from Belcher missed everything, but Renfroeskied for an offensive rebound putback and scored whilebeing fouled by Channels with 10 seconds left. The pointguard completed the three-point play and crazy comebackeffort, tying the score at 84.Following a timeout, AustinPeay raced the ball upcourt with Channels missing a con-tested pullup jumpshot with three seconds left. As bothteams fought over the high bouncing, loose ball rebound,Harris was whistled for fouling Reed with 0.2 secondsremaining. Reed sank both free throws, despite trying tointentionally miss the back end. Belmont's desperation tipattempt in the final 0.2 seconds was denied.

PITTSBURGH, PA. - - It certainly wasn't from a lack ofeffort. Belmont University men's basketball flirted withanother monumental major conference victory, butuncharacteristically cold shooting and the hot-hand of anAll-Big East performer spelled a 74-60 setback at fourth-ranked Pittsburgh Tuesday night...Both Belmont andPittsburgh played shorthanded, as the Bruins went with-out all-conference forward Shane Dansby while the hostPanthers suited up without All-America candidateDeJuan Blair...Pittsburgh, an impressive 60-1 against non-conference competition at the Petersen Events Center,showed little signs of missing the power post presence ofBlair early on. Two quick three-pointers from seniorLevance Fields gave Pittsburgh an 8-2 lead three minutesin. But Jordan Campbell replied in kind with two treys ofhis own to get the Bruins within 10-8. A jump hook fromMatthew Dotson and two more darting drives fromRenfroe got Belmont within 32-29 with 1:38 in thehalf...House closed the first half scoring on a backdoorfeed from Campbell. The Bruins went to the locker roomdown six, 37-31. Belmont shot just 12-for-32 from the floorin the opening 20 minutes. Moreover, many of the misseswere clean, open putback attempts right at the rim. Abank shot from Keaton Belcher opened the second halfscoring and got the Bruins within 37-33 with 19:36 left.Furthermore, Belmont would score on three successivepossessions but would be unable to inch closer because ofthe dead-eye shooting of Young. An open court steal andslam dunk from Young capped a lightning quick 10-0 runand gave Pittsburgh a 51-37 edge with 14:11 left. Dotsonresponded with a three-pointer, but the Bruins' trademarkshooting - whether from the perimeter or on backdoorfeeds - was strangely off. Shots rimmed off ... putbackswould whirlpool out. Belmont's offense created clean shotopportunities time and again, but the looks simply wouldnot fall. Two Belcher free throws got the Bruins within57-46 with 9:00 remaining, before four straight Pantherfree throws halted the momentum. The final stats wouldforce the Bruin coaching staff into double and triple takes:9-for-41 second half shooting, 25 total offensive reboundsand only four second chance points. Dotson pacedBelmont with a season-high 16 points. Renfroe wasextremely active, adding his first career double-double of12 points and 12 rebounds.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Belmont University men's bas-ketball returned to action following the Thanksgivingholiday in fine form, winning at Tennessee State Mondayevening, 91-63...The Music City Showdown, as it wasdubbed, was nip and tuck early on with four ties in thefirst four minutes, before Alex Renfroe sank a wingthree-pointer to put Belmont ahead, 11-8...TSU took abrief lead, yet seemingly before the scoreboard registeredthe Tiger edge, Belmont ripped off the most determinedand decisive spurt of the young season. Four consecutivethree-pointers by Matthew Dotson in a two and a halfminute span pushed the Bruins to a 29-22 edge.

But more uncharacteristic playon both ends kept the Bruins from pulling away...AfterWicke picked up his fourth foul with over seven minutesto play, Jacksonville trimmed the margin to five, 59-54, onan offensive rebound putback from Ayron Hardy. TheDolphins lived at the free throw line in the second half,and following a charging foul on Dansby, Marcus Allensank two free throws to nod the score at 59 with 3:45 togo.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Belmont University men's bas-ketball showed little rust following a lengthy break forsemester exams, defeating Middle Tennessee StateWednesday evening, 82-69...The Bruins had not taken thecourt since an 89-55 victory North Florida on Dec. 6.Meanwhile the familiar foe - Belmont played MiddleTennessee twice a year ago - was playing its third gamein six days...After falling behind 11-7 early, the Bruinsorchestrated a 19-4 run to seize control. Andy Wicke andAlex Renfroe contributed to 14 of the 19 points, givingBelmont a 26-15 lead midway through the first half. TheBruins made a concerted effort to take the ball out of thehands of Middle Tennessee State's high-scoring forwardDesmond Yates, the Preseason Sun Belt ConferencePlayer of the Year. Constant double-teaming of Yates inthe medium post kept the Blue Raiders off balance andforced others to seek offense. Following a MontarrioHaddock putback basket, Belmont scored 13 of the next 18points, once again in large order to Wicke. His thirdthree-pointer of the first half gave the Bruins a 42-26 leadwith 2:55 in the half - prompting Middle Tennessee Statehead coach Kermit Davis to call his third timeout of thehalf. Two free throws from Renfroe sent Belmont to thelocker room up 13, 44-31...Belmont shot 56 percent fromthe floor (15-for-27) in the opening 20 minutes - including7-for-16 from three-point range. Renfroe paced the Bruinswith 15 first half points...After squandering double-digithalftime leads to Austin Peay and Jacksonville earlier thisseason, Belmont was eagerly awaiting the opportunity toextinguish those second half demons...Two more treysfrom Wicke bumped the lead to 52-38 with 17:33 left. ButMTSU stayed aggressive and on the attack. After a layinfrom Matthew Dotson provided the Bruins a 59-44 edge,the Blue Raiders scored eight unanswered points behindthe play of Kevin Kanaskie.With its lead trimmed to 59-52 with 12:56 to go, Belmont received a huge lift fromKeaton Belcher, whose wing three-pointer out of a time-out stretched the margin back to ten. Renfroe's ability toscore in the lane or set up teammates truly preserved theBruin lead. Moreover, solid team defense limited MiddleTennessee State to just two field goals over the final 6:08of the contest; inhibiting the Blue Raiders from makingone last push.

December 20, 2008Thompson-BBoling Arena - - Knoxville, Tenn.Belmont Bruins 40 37 77[16/19] Tennessee Vols 44 35 79

KNOXVILLE, TENN. - - In a game laden with juicysubplots and mesmerizing action, Belmont Universitymen's basketball once again gave a national power every-thing it wanted and more. But despite a career-high 30points from senior Alex Renfroe, the Bruins dropped agut-wrenching 79-77 decision at 16th-ranked Tennessee.Tennessee led 44-40 at the break...The Bruins came out ofthe locker room poised and purposeful. Behind itsresourceful matchup zone defense and the scoring ofRenfroe and Dotson, Belmont opened the second halfwith a 10-0 run to claim a 50-44 edge with 17:25 left. Atough Smith jumper and a steal and breakaway slam dunkfrom Scotty Hopson tied the game at 58 and enlivenedthe home crowd. Two free throws from an ever-aggres-sive Renfroe inched the margin back to four, 65-61, with7:42 to go. But Tennessee answered with a key 7-0 burst,capped by a second chance, loose ball rebound three-pointer by Cameron Tatum. But a textbook halfcourtplay to Dansby for a layin and three Bruin free throwsgot Belmont back within one, 75-74, with 2:11 remaining.On arguably the possession of the game, Tennesseemissed two shot attempts before Bobby Maze buried adeep three-pointer on the third try to extend the marginback to four, 78-74, with 1:45 left. The killer possessionwould have buried most teams, but Belmont hung togeth-er. Renfroe once again sliced through the heart of theentire Vol defense before finishing at the rim to cut themargin in half. After Tyler Smith missed the front end ofa one-and-one, Dansby rimmed out an open wing treywhich would have given Belmont the lead with 36 sec-onds left. Belmont proceeded to foul Maze, who missedboth end of the bonus free throws. Belmont understand-ably got the ball to Renfroe, who drew a foul while attackthe basket once more with eight seconds left. But aftermaking 11 of his first 13 free throws, Renfroe missed thefront end of his two shot foul. The point guard made theback end to get Belmont within 78-77. The Bruins quicklyfouled Maze on the inbounds pass. Maze missed his firstfree throw attempt, before making the second with sevenseconds to go to inch the score back to 79-77. After themade free throw, Belmont inbounded to Andy Wickeagainst full court pressure. Wicke dribbled across midcourt before passing to an open Renfroe. He drove insidethe three-point line and was fouled by Tatum on a leanerin the lane with under two seconds to go. With a chanceto tie and force overtime, Renfroe rimmed out the first ofhis two shot foul. After consultation with the Bruinbench, Renfroe intentionally missed the second freethrow to give the Bruins a final shot attempt. HenryHarris got a hand on the offensive rebound and deflectedto the near corner. Wicke got to the loose ball but his des-peration shot attempt was off target - and after the horn.

December 22, 2008Dunn Center - - Clarksville, Tenn.Belmont Bruins 32 40 72Austin Peay Governors 32 30 62

CLARKSVILLE, TENN. - - In times past, 28 missedthree-pointers and 15 missed free throws would have beenthe recipe of a painful Bruin loss. But riding solid half-court defense and tough-mindedness, Belmont Universitymen's basketball grinded out a 72-62 victory at AustinPeay Monday...After shouldering a difficult 79-77 loss atnationally-ranked Tennessee Saturday afternoon, theBruins looked to get back on track against the alwayschallenging Governors. On this bone-chilling night out-side the Dunn Center, the frigid temperatures seeminglypermeated inside the hands of Belmont's perimeter shoot-ers. Trailing 8-5 early, Belmont ripped off a 16-4 runbehind eight points from Matthew Dotson to claim a 21-12lead with 10:53 left in the half. But the well went dry -very dry - for Belmont and Austin Peay cut into the lead.A baseline three-pointer from Tyrone Caldwell tied thescore at 26 with six minutes remaining in the half.The Bruins scored periodically from the charity stripe tostem the tide, but trademark, clean three-point looksrimmed off. Aside from Dotson, Belmont went a head-scratching 0-for-17 from three-point range in the opening20 minutes. A transition layin from Keaton Belcher gaveBelmont a 30-27 lead with 3:16 in the half, but an ErnestFields free throw provided the game's seventh tie and sentthe two teams to the locker room all square at 32.Much like Belmont's 10-0 run to open the second half atTennessee, the Bruins answered an Ernest Fields jumperwith a 13-0 spurt to seize control. Two quick three-pointerfrom Andy Wicke and a slicing drive from Alex Renfroehighlighted the run. After Austin Peay inched within sixon two Drake Reed free throws, Belmont extended themargin to 53-41 with 11:08 left with four free throws fromRenfroe and two from Mick Hedgepeth...Just as Belmontseemed on the verge of breaking free, Austin Peayembarked on a brief flurry. Rapid fire treys from WesChannels and Kyle Duncan and some shaky Belmont ballhandling saw the host Govs score 12 consecutive points inunder four minutes to tie the score at 53 with 7:17 left.Yet with the crowd engaged, the seesaw affair swungback in Belmont's favor. An inbounds play layin forWicke and five more Renfroe free throws capped a 9-0Bruin run over the next three-plus minutes to provideBelmont a 62-53 lead with 3:43 to go. The Bruins mixedhalfcourt man-to-man and zone defenses to keep theAustin Peay offense off balance. The Govs got as close as62-57 with 2:47 remaining on a Fields putback basket, buta reply basket from Jon House on a timely feed fromWicke upped the lead back to seven. The Bruins went 6-for-8 from the free throw line in the final two minutes tosecure the win.

December 29, 2008Leavey Center - - Santa Clara, Calif.Belmont Bruins 46 34 80Santa Clara Broncos 28 55 83

SANTA CLARA, CALIF. - - In an inexplicable turn-about, Belmont University men's basketball dropped an83-80 decision at Santa Clara in the opening game of the42nd annual Cable Car Classic. A wing three-pointerfrom Andy Wicke inched the Bruin lead to seven, 23-16,midway through the first half. Mixing active defensesand showcasing crisp ball movement on offense, Belmontclosed the half strong. After four quick points from AlexRenfroe, Matthew Dotson closed from close range to sendthe Bruins to the locker room up 18, 46-28. Aided byBruin turnovers, three Santa Clara three-pointers in thefirst 1:46 of the second half cut the Belmont lead from 18to nine, forcing a timeout from head coach Rick Byrd. Butthe surreal Bronco run persisted; seven more Foster points- including five in a six second span - tied the game at 46with 15:02 to go. Belmont's 18 point lead was extinguishedin less than five minutes. Yet the Bruins dusted them-selves off and settled in. The lead seesawed back andforth for several minutes before a technical foul on SantaClara head coach Kerry Keating sent Belmont to the freethrow line for a 63-60 lead. But yet another Foster jumperand a deep three-pointer from Perry Petty put SantaClara back ahead 65-63. Two free throws from Renfroegave Belmont a 69-68 advantage with 5:08 left, but itwould prove to be the Bruins' last lead. From there, looseballs and offensive rebounds went the way of theBroncos. After Dotson sank a three-pointer to getBelmont within 77-76, Rahon answered for Santa Clarafrom the baseline late in the shot clock to stretch theBronco lead back to four. Wicke had Belcher open on aninbounds pass, but the pass was deflected and stolen bySanta Clara. Another offensive rebound from MarcTrasolini preserved a Santa Clara possession beforeRenfroe broke free in transition and was fouled. His freethrows got Belmont within 80-78 with 1:12 to go. But inneed of another defensive stop, Henry Harris was calledfor a reach-in foul on Rahon 40 feet from the basket latein the shot clock. Rahon proceeded to make one of twofree throws to make it 81-78 with 46 seconds left. Belmontworked the possession to Dotson, whose potential game-tying three-pointer rimmed off. Wicke claimed the longrebound and fired from long distance, but his shot wasjust off the mark. Trasolini was fouled on the rebound,and made one of two free throws with 17 seconds left tomake the score 82-78. Renfroe sped downcourt and scoreda darting layin with 13 seconds left to get Belmont withintwo points once more. Following a timeout, Belmontfouled Rahon, but allowed six seconds to run off theclock. Rahon made the first of two free throws, butmissed the second to give the Bruins' final chance. AfterByrd drew up a game-tying three-point shot, Petty wascalled for a reach-in foul on Renfroe with three seconds togo before Belmont could attempt a shot. Renfroe, havingmade all eight free throw attempts to that point, had hisfirst attempt touch every part of the rim, sit tantalizinglyon the front rim for a second, and then fall off. The pointguard then missed the second free throw intentionally,with Belcher tipping the miss out front. Wicke got off adesperation 25 footer before the buzzer, but the shot fellshort and left.

SANTA CLARA, CALIF. - - Perhaps BelmontUniversity men's basketball would be better served trail-ing at halftime. For the second straight evening, theBruins endured a rough second half in falling to JamesMadison, 81-64, in the consolation game of the 42nd annu-al Cable Car Classic...After a tough offensive reboundbasket from freshman Mick Hedgepeth tied the score at16, James Madison ripped off eight unanswered pointsover the next three minutes. Searching for a spark,Belmont head coach Rick Byrd went deep into his bench.Jonny Rice provided a nice lift with pesky defense and athree-pointer to initiate a Belmont run. A trey fromKeaton Belcher soon followed to tie things at 26 with 4:51in the half. Senior Andy Wicke continued the solid closeto the half with two more three-pointers as Belmont builta 36-30 lead. A Pierre Curtis tip-in sent Belmont to thelocker room up four. Despite shooting just 7-for-21 fromthree-point distance and committing 11 turnovers, theBruins had worked themselves into a modest halftimelead. Belmont also forced 14 Dukes' miscues. But as hasbeen the case throughout the non-conference season, theBruins again were unable to stretch the lead. After a freethrow from Jon House gave Belmont a 41-37 lead with18:11 to go, a deep three-pointer from Kyle Swanston and along jumpshot from Juwann James put James Madison ontop, 43-41. Belmont quickly tied at 43 on a short hook shotfrom Mike Dejworek, before the Dukes embarked on a 9-0 spurt - again capped by a Swanston wing trey. TheBruins labored through a five minute field goal droughtbefore a Wicke baseline trey made the score 57-48 with9:23 left. Rick Byrd turned to a myriad of lineups in thesecond half, looking for a unit which could link togetherscores with defensives stops. But it simply was not to be.A Dotson three-pointer inched Belmont within eight, 64-56, with 5:54 remaining, but the Bruins proceeded to misstheir next seven shots while the Dukes broke pressuredefense for scores and paraded to the charity stripe.Sometimes stats don't lie: in the second half, JamesMadison shot 61 percent from the floor and committedjust four turnovers. Meanwhile, Belmont shot 24 percent -including 3-for-18 from three-point range - after halftime.For the game, the Bruins shot under 32 percent (21-for-66)and were only 10-for-39 from long distance.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - For Belmont Basketball, 2009ushered in revitalized defense, spirited rebounding and acomplete performance in defeating Stetson Saturdayafternoon, 82-57...The Bruins returned home followingtwo agonizing defeats in the Cable Car Classic hosted bySanta Clara. Turning back to his tradition of basing start-ing lineups on matchups and superior play in practice,Belmont head coach Rick Byrd started senior HenryHarris and junior Mike Dejworek. While Belmont cameout purposeful and focused, the offense was out of sortswith four turnovers before the first media timeout.Trailing 7-6, the Bruins ripped off eight straight pointsbehind a deep three-pointer from Keaton Belcher.After a baseline jumpshot from Garfield Blair inched theHatters to within three, 20-17, midway through the firsthalf, Belmont seized control with a 14-0 run over the nextfour-plus minutes. Sparked into transition by solid half-court defense, Alex Renfroe - who proved to be instantoffense off the bench - had a hand in 11 of the 14 pointsduring the spurt. In fact, Renfroe scored Belmont's finalseven points of the half - including a second effort layinbefore the first half horn - to give the Bruins a 48-26 half-time lead. After enduring some rough shooting nights oflate, Belmont shot 63 percent from the floor (19-for-30) inthe opening 20 minutes, while limiting the Hatters to just33 percent shooting. Moreover, the Bruins outreboundedStetson 20-11. Matthew Dotson squashed any hopes of aStetson rally by scoring 11 points in the first four minutesof the second half. The Bruin lead grew to as many as 35,66-31, with 14:02 left on a layin from Jon House.

January 5, 2009Curb Event Center - - Nashville, Tenn.FGCU Eagles 25 42 67Belmont Bruins 39 40 79

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - On Nashville Predators night,Belmont Basketball discovered their inner hockey playerin toughing out a hard-earned 79-67 victory over FloridaGulf Coast Monday night...The Bruins were finishing offa whirlwind stretch of four games in eight days. A deepthree-pointer from Alex Renfroe 21 seconds into the gamegot Belmont off and running. But much like its startagainst Stetson two days earlier, Belmont was impatient,loose with the basketball and unable to find consistentoffense. However, three free throws from Andy Wickeinched the Bruin lead to 10-4 six minutes in. After hold-ing the visiting Eagles in check to open, a quick burstsparked by Reggie Chambers gave Florida Gulf Coast abrief 14-13 advantage. A physical, meat-grinder of a firsthalf ensued, as both teams battled to complete passes andfind open shots. Leading just 23-21 with under five min-utes in the half, the Bruins got several nice hustle playsoff the bench. Freshman walk-on David Stanley grabbedan offensive rebound and fellow freshman Jonny Ricechipped in five key points. With Renfroe orchestratingthings once again, Belmont finished the half on a tidy 16-4 to take a 39-25 lead to the locker room...Belmont shot 44percent from the floor (11-for-25) in the first half - includ-ing six three-pointers - and held Florida Gulf Coast tojust 28 percent shooting (8-for-29)...Matthew Dotsonburied a deep three-pointer in front of the Bruin bench toup the lead to 16, 44-28, with 18:34 to go. But eight unan-swered Eagle points - again led by the confidentChambers - sliced the lead in half. But a straight onRenfroe trey and Dotson's fifth triple of the eveningbumped the margin back to 14, 50-36, with 16:24 left. Looseballs and rebounds were fiercely battled for, with eachsquad taking in some bruises and leg burns. Following aReed Baker baseline jumper, Belmont went on an 8-0 run- capped by two free throws from Mick Hedgepeth - toclaim its largest lead of 19, 60-41, with 13:16 remaining.Solid production from Chambers and Delvin Franklinkept Florida Gulf Coast hanging around, but the Eagleswould never get within single figures.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - In one of its finest perform-ances of the season, Belmont University men's basketballdefeated Campbell Saturday night, 87-54...The visitingCamels entered the evening riding a three-game confer-ence winning streak. Though Campbell never led - therewould be five ties in the first 10 minutes of play. But aftera wing three-pointer from Matt Gwynne squared thescore at 18, the Bruins ripped off 11 unanswered pointsover the next two and a half minutes. Treys from seniorsShane Dansby, Alex Renfroe and Andy Wicke keyed therun. The Bruins would ratchet up the defensive pressureas well, holding the Camels to just two field goals overthe final 9:27 of the first half. Two more Belcher freethrows sent Belmont to the locker room up 16, 38-22. TheBruins shot 56 percent from the floor (15-for-27) in theopening 20 minutes - including 5-for-10 from three-pointterritory. Meanwhile, Campbell shot just 30 percent on 9-for-30. But Belmont was just getting warm. After aRodriguez steal and layin trimmed the margin to 38-26early in the second half - prompting a timeout from headcoach Rick Byrd - Belmont embarked on its biggest spurtof the year. Offense and defense both came together and,despite Campbell's best efforts, the Bruins were simply inthe zone. Over a six minutes span, Belmont made fivestraight three-pointers and held the Camels without afield goal. Renfroe was at the heart of the major run, snar-ing defensive rebounds, racing into the frontcourt andpassing to open teammates or scoring himself. When thedust settled after a layin from freshman Mick Hedgepeth,Belmont had gone on a 25-1 run to seize a 63-27 lead. Solidperimeter defensive pressure and rebounding initiated allof the Bruin scoring, and the bench got in on the act aswell. Jonny Rice hit two quick three-pointers, the latter ofwhich gave Belmont its largest lead, 72-32, with 8:47 left.In all, the Bruins shot a season-high 61 percent from thefield (33-for-54) - including 15-for-25 from three-point ter-ritory. Moreover, Belmont held Campbell to a season-low34 percent shooting.

January 12, 2009Curb Event Center - - Nashville, Tenn.Lipscomb Bisons 35 39 74Belmont Bruins 35 44 79

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - This game never disappoints.Full of passion and hotly-contested possessions, BelmontUniversity men's basketball rode the play of senior cap-tain Andy Wicke to earn a 79-74 victory over LipscombMonday night...The 123rd installment of the `Battle of theBoulevard' proved to be a contrast in experience and styleof play. The Bruins' roster sports seven upperclassmen,compared to just two for the Bisons. Moreover, Belmontrelies heavily on outside shooting while Lipscomb'soffense is centered around penetration and post play. Butrecords and statistics matter little in this intense series,with both teams intimately familiar with the players andschemes. Belmont got off quickly. A short bank shot fromJon House gave the Bruins a 10-2 lead three minutes in. Abaseline drive from senior Henry Harris and one freethrow from senior Shane Dansby gave the Bruins a 21-12edge midway through the first half. Yet fellow seniorAlex Renfroe picked up his second foul soon after, andthe Belmont offense would take a different look with thedynamic point guard relegated to the bench. Five straightpoints from Josh Slater to close the first half sent theteams to the locker room all square at 35. Stingy defenseand two three-pointers from Wicke highlighted a 15-3Bruin run to open the second half as Belmont seized a 50-38 advantage with 15:13 to go. Slater answered with a deepthree in transition and Brandon Brown tacked on two freethrows moments later. Twice more in the next two min-utes, Wicke would bury contested triples to preserve theBruin lead, the latter of which made the score 61-51 with9:41 left. But the Bisons would not back down. An off-bal-ance banker from Slater capped a 10-0 Lipscomb run totrim the margin to one, 61-60, with 6:11 remaining. Housereplied with a tough post score before Slater continued historrid form with a three-pointer to tie things at 63-63 with5:01 left. But Wicke simply would not let the Bruins loseat home. A timely lob pass assist to Dotson put Belmontback up 65-63. Moments later, Wicke would steal the ballfrom Michael Lusk and outrace the Bison player to thebasket. Though the shot was missed, Lusk was called foran intentional foul. Wicke made both free throws toextend the lead to four, 67-63, with 4:42 to go. Wicke thenstepped in front of Slater on a handoff to provide his sec-ond steal in succession, passing upcourt to Renfroe for acourt-pleasing slam and a six point lead. Renfroe added anoffensive rebound putback to up the margin to six, 71-65,with 3:22 left. But the clock would be seemingly frozen intime down the stretch, as both teams battled for the win.A Brown baseline drive got Lipscomb within 71-69 with2:32 to go, before two Dansby free throws and a Wickelayin stretched the Belmont lead back to six, 75-69, with1:57 left. But Belmont could not slam the door shut fromthe free throw line. One-and-one misses from Renfroeand then Wicke kept Lipscomb's hopes alive. Dotson andAdnan Hodzic traded free throws before a Hodzic jumperand one Lusk free throw got the Bisons within 77-74 with17 seconds left. Wicke then commanded the basketball,made both free throws after being fouled with 16 secondsleft to secure the victory.

January 19, 2009Memorial Center - - Johnson City, Tenn.Belmont Bruins 26 31 57ETSU Buccaneers 44 43 87

JOHNSON CITY, TENN. - - On a snowy night in themountains, the Bruins were buried under an avalanche ofmissed shots in falling to East Tennessee State Mondaynight, 87-57. In its two previous trips to the MemorialCenter, Belmont Basketball jumped on East TennesseeState from the opening tip en route to convincing victo-ries. Well, the Bucs flipped the script. Kevin Tiggs scoredfrom close range nine seconds in to get the host Bucs offand running. Five points from Alex Renfroe trimmed thescore to one, 6-5, three-plus minutes in. But the Bruinswere quite generous early on, with a myriad of turnoversand long perimeter misses sparking the athletic Bucs intothe open court. A steal and slam dunk from Tiggs cappedan 8-0 ETSU to give the Bucs a 14-5 lead four and a halfminutes in. It prompted a quick timeout from Belmonthead coach Rick Byrd, and soon after, the Bruins seemedto settle in. Consecutive three-pointers from Andy Wickeand Keaton Belcher got Belmont within 14-11 at the 13:37mark; the Bruins had seemingly weathered the initialonslaught. But back came Tiggs. Three straight interiorbaskets from the versatile left-hander pushed the ETSUlead back to 20-11. Five more points from CourtneyPigram soon followed before Matthew Dotson ended theBruin four minute drought with an offensive reboundbasket. Belmont tried to minimize the damage, but ETSUgot great production from role players Adam Sollazzo,Greg Hamlin and Micah Williams to keep the Bruins atarm's length. A coast-to-coast layin from Renfroe gotBelmont within 39-26 with 1:52 in the half, before an IsiahBrown dunk and three free throws sent the Bucs to thelocker room up 18, 44-26. It was a statistical eyesore forthe Bruins: 4-for-20 three-point shooting, 12 turnovers and53 percent shooting from the Bucs...Belmont had a smallopening to chip away at the deficit early in the secondhalf as ETSU committed turnovers on four of its firstfive second half possessions. But Renfroe, Dotson and fel-low senior Shane Dansby each misfired on clean looksfrom long range which could have gotten the Bruinswithin 12 points. From there, Tiggs reasserted his domi-nance with a wing trey and a conventional three-pointplay to stretch the margin to 21, 55-34, with 16:05 left. What followed was a head-scratching repetition ofBelmont missed three-pointers and ETSU interior basketsto simply blow the game wide open. Pigram took theoffensive torch from Tiggs in the latter stages, with noBruin able to find the range from inside or outside. APigram layin on a transition feed from Mike Smith gaveETSU its largest lead at 33, 81-48, with 4:55 left. Belmont'srough shooting first half only worsened in half numbertwo. In all, the Bruins shot a season-low 28 percent on 18-for-64 shooting - including 7-for-35 from long distance.

January 24, 2009Curb Event Center - - Nashville, Tenn.Kennesaw State Owls 23 43 66Belmont Bruins 32 43 75

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Belmont Basketball returned toits winning ways Saturday night, riding the hot hand ofMatthew Dotson in a 75-66 victory over Kennesaw State.Hoping to rediscover its trademark three-point shootingtouch, Belmont got off to a rather inauspicious start. Adeep wing trey from Kurtis Woods provided KennesawState with a quick 7-0 lead less than two minutes into thegame. After Dotson responded with a conventional three-point play, Kelvin McConnell replied with another deepthree-pointer to reassert the Owls' seven point cushion.But five more points from Dotson and a determined tran-sition slam from Keaton Belcher tied the score at 10 fourminutes in. From there, it was merely a manifestation ofthe projected contrast in styles: Belmont's yearning toaccelerate the tempo and allow senior point guard AlexRenfroe to dictate the game versus Kennesaw State's will-ingness to drip the shot clock under five seconds posses-sion after possession. The lead seesawed back and forthsix times midway through the first half before a Renfroesteal and thunderous slam tied the score at 19 with 7:53left. The play seemed to electrify both the fans and theplayers who were fighting through the methodical Owlattack. Two Renfroe free throws followed before a layinfrom Jon House stretched the Bruin lead to 23-19. AfterZadrian Gibson tied things at 23, Belmont closed the halfon a timely 9-0 spurt. Dotson scored five more pointsbefore Renfroe ended the half with a slicing drive. TheBruins led 32-23 at halftime...Belmont looked poised tobreak the game open out of the locker room. A textbookset play to Andy Wicke gave Belmont its first double-digit lead of the game. And when Dotson ripped the netsonce more from long range, the Bruins extended the mar-gin to 14, 43-29, with 16:12 to go.But Belmont wasn't facinga typical opponent - one content on sticking to one styleof play. After slowing things down in the halfcourt forthe entire first half, Kennesaw State turned on a dime andproceeded to pressure the Bruins for 94 feet. PeriodicBelmont turnovers ensued - and coupled with the hot out-side shooting of Woods - Kennesaw State closed to 47-42with 11:03 remaining. After solid production from MickHedgepeth and a sweet teardrop from Renfroe uppedBelmont's lead back to 51-42, the Owls inched closer. Acontested Spencer Dixon three-pointer capped a 9-2Kennesaw State run and got the visitors within 53-51 with7:50 to go. Strangely, Kennesaw State was the team rip-ping the nets from beyond the arc. However, the Bruinsconsistently broke Kennesaw State pressure for scores atthe rim. Dotson led the way, as he, House and ShaneDansby scored on consecutive possessions to halt theOwls' run. Two Woods free throws would get KennesawState within 58-55 with 5:06 left, but the Owls would getno closer. A baseline three-pointer from Wicke capped akey 7-0 run as the Bruins bumped the lead back to 65-55with 3:15 left. Belmont pressured Kennesaw State ballhandlers and shooters down the stretch while going 6-for-7 from the free throw line to secure the victory. All told,the Bruins shot 56 percent from the floor (27-for-48) -including 70 percent in the second half. It was Dotson'snight, as he scored a career-high 27 points on 10-for-14shooting and added eight rebounds. The Centerville,Tenn. native became just the ninth Bruin in the pro-gram's NCAA era to eclipse 1,000 career points.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Behind the exceptional all-around game of Alex Renfroe, Belmont Basketball out-lasted Mercer Monday night, 86-82, in overtime. TheBruins entered the contest having defeated Mercer nineconsecutive times, including the previous two at the CurbEvent Center by a combined 61 points. But those in theknow realized that this affair would be no walkover, asthis Bears' edition was armed and loaded, especially giventheir solid non-conference resume. After Andy Wickesank two free throws late in the first half to give Belmonta one point lead, Daniel Emerson took a feed from MarkHall and dunked right before the first half buzzer to sendthe Bears to the locker room ahead, 34-33. Renfroe led thecause with 10 points and nine rebounds in the first half.And the speedy point guard was merely warming up.Belmont showed great energy and purpose early in thesecond half. A baseline Renfroe jam, a short Dotsonjumper and a Wicke three-pointer in the first 62 secondsof the second half gave Belmont a 40-34 lead. MickHedgepeth tacked on a short post basket to extend themargin to 48-40 with 15:16 left. A bank shot from sopho-more Jon House stretched the Bruin lead to 11, 62-51, with10:18 to go. But as Belmont attempted to provide itsstarters with a brief rest, Mercer ripped off seven straightpoints in a minutes' time to get back within four, 62-58,on a James Florence three-pointer. The Bruins hungtough and pushed the lead back to eight, 69-61 with 6:43left on a floater from Shane Dansby. But one Belmontfield goal over the next four-plus minutes allowed Mercerto chip away. Five more Florence points tied the score at71 with 2:08 remaining. Dansby rose up again, burying astraight on three-pointer to give Belmont a 74-71 leadwith 1:54 to go. After an exchange of defensive stops, Hallsank a wing trey with 41 seconds left to tie the score at 74.Renfroe nearly sank a 12 footer with five seconds left, butit rimmed off, and the game went to overtime. Bothteams opened the extra session cold, before House sank atough bank shot over Michael Ellis to give the Bruins a76-74 edge. E. J. Kusnyer answered with his fourth three-pointer of the game to put Mercer on top, 77-76. AfterRenfroe and Hall traded one of two trips to the freethrow line, House again scored from close range to putBelmont back up one, 79-78, with 2:18 in overtime.Then with Emerson seemingly wide open for an easylayin or dunk to put the Bears back ahead, Dansby flew infrom the weakside for a timely blocked shot. AfterRenfroe missed two free throws - his lone demerit on anotherwise stellar night - and Kusnyer rimmed out a trey,Dansby to a lob feed from Dotson and scored to giveBelmont an 81-78 lead with 53 seconds left in overtime.The Bruins got another defensive stop and made five ofsix free throws in the final 22 seconds to secure the win.

FT. MYERS, FLA. - - Sharp and active on both ends ofthe floor, Belmont Basketball defeated Florida Gulf CoastSaturday afternoon, 92-74...In their previous five games,the Bruins had shot an uncharacteristically tepid 27 per-cent from three-point territory. However, as the teamentered the second half of conference play, its trademarklong range shooting prowess made a welcomed return.Trailing 5-4 three minutes in, seniors Alex Renfroe, AndyWicke and Matthew Dotson each ripped the nets frombehind the arc as the Bruins built a 17-7 lead. Moreover,Belmont's communication, effort and consistency ondefense was noticeably ratcheted up against the formida-ble host Eagles. And despite two long range makes fromDelvin Franklin, the Bruins continued to showcase crispball movement for high percentage shots. Wicke and fel-low senior Henry Harris each made treys midwaythrough the first half as the Bruins led 23-15 with 9:24 leftin the half. Then after the Eagles inched within 27-21,Belmont poured it on with inspired team play. Turningdefense into offense, senior Shane Dansby, junior KeatonBelcher, Wicke and Dotson each sank three-pointers aspart of a 12-1 Belmont run to extend the lead to 39-22 with3:37 in the half. The Bruins were protecting their defen-sive backboard, challenging ball handlers and shootersand working the offense to find the open man. Three-pointers from freshman Drew Hanlen and Wicke in thefinal 49 seconds of the half sent Belmont to the lockerroom up 18, 48-30. The Bruins shot 57 percent from thefield in the opening 20 minutes - including 11-for-18 fromthree-point territory. Moreover, Belmont surrenderedonly one Florida Gulf Coast offensive rebound. Renfroescored from close range to open the second half to stretchthe lead to 50-30. The Eagles would ride the play ofReggie Chambers and Derrick O'Neil to cut into theBruin advantage; a Chambers scoop shot trimmed themargin to 57-46 with 15:13 left. But the Bruins simplyanswered every call on this day. Renfroe and Wicke led a9-0 run over the next 1:17 as Belmont pushed the lead backto 66-46 with 13:56 left. Physical play characterized thesecond half - 25 fouls were committed after halftime - butthe Bruins played tough rather than recklessly.Sophomore Jon House took the scoring baton in the laterstages, scoring eight of 10 Bruin points that kept theEagles at bay.

February 2, 2009Edmunds Center - - DeLand, Fla.Belmont Bruins 36 35 71Stetson Hatters 30 52 82

DeLAND, FLA. - - After a promising opening 25 min-utes, Belmont Basketball lost at Stetson Monday night,82-71...The Bruins and Hatters came out sloppy, as teamstraded a litany of turnovers from the outset. But after anA.J. Smith free throw gave Stetson an 11-6 lead six min-utes in, Belmont answered with a 10-0 run. Alex Renfroehad a hand in eight of the points as the Bruins wentahead 16-11. Matthew Dotson scored five straight points aspart of a 9-0 Bruin spurt as the lead swelled to 29-17 with5:46 in the half. The Bruins defense was active and oppor-tunistic, forcing Stetson into risky passes or difficultshots late in the shot clock. After a Renfroe floater inchedthe lead to 34-21, Garfield Blair punctuated a 7-0 Hatterrun with a wing three-pointer to make the score 34-28with 1:46 to go. The teams exchanged scores right beforethe half as Belmont took a 36-30 lead to the locker room.But in many respects, the Bruins failed to take full advan-tage of Stetson's loose first-half ball handling. TheHatters committed 17 first half turnovers, yet Belmontshot just 44 percent (14-for-32) from the field and commit-ted 11 turnovers of its own. Renfroe scored Belmont's firstfour points of the second half, and when Dotson tippedhome a Renfroe missed free throw, the Bruins seized a 44-32 edge with 18:39 remaining. Following five Stetsonpoints, Keaton Belcher made a three-pointer over theHatter zone to give Belmont a 47-37 lead with 16:16 left.Two consecutive deep threes from Smith got Stetsonwithin 47-45 with 14:05 remaining. Yet Shane Dansbyreplied with a tip-in basket before Dotson supplied atough conventional three-point play to up the lead back to52-45 with 12:26 to go. But moments later, Smith wouldslice through the Bruin defense and score while drawingDansby's fourth foul with 12:11 left. The Bruins carried onfor the time being, and two free throws from HenryHarris preserved the seven point lead, 57-50, with 9:43remaining. But from there, Stetson thrived whileBelmont labored. The Hatters hurt the Bruins on theoffensive glass, with a Mark Lohuis basket on a third shotopportunity aiding the Stetson push. Four points fromBlair cut the margin to one, 57-56, with 7:52 remaining.Renfroe answered with a timely post move to stem thetide, but the Bruins would go the next 6:13 without a fieldgoal. Over that stretch, Smith entered the zone. Whethershooting or passing, the Hatter lead guard had a hand in15 of Stetson's 17 points during a backbreaking 20-2 runthat saw Stetson go from down three to up 76-61 with 2:12left.

February 6, 2009Pope Convocation Center - - Buies Creek, N.C.Belmont Bruins 22 65 87Campbell Camels 37 47 84

BUIES CREEK, N.C. - - Words truly cannot do it jus-tice. Those in attendance will never forget what they wit-nessed. Simply put, what happened Friday night in theCarolina sandhills will go down as the most remarkablevictory in Belmont Basketball history. Trailing by 18points with 3:27 remaining, the Bruins outscoredCampbell 30-9 down the stretch to claim a stirring andemotional 87-84 victory. When Matt Gwynne brokeBelmont pressure for a conventional three-point play,Campbell led 75-57 with 3:27 remaining. For what tran-spired next would defy description: arguably one of thegreatest comeback in college basketball history. ThoughCampbell was already in the double bonus, the Bruinselected to foul and see what happened from the freethrow line. Renfroe and Shane Dansby sparked the Bruincomeback, and Campbell missed free throws aided thecause. Despite growing nervousness and anxiety from thepartisan Pope Convocation Center crowd, Rodriguez sanktwo free throws moments later to make the score 80-69with 1:42 left. Renfroe again orchestrated the Belmontopen court attack, driving and finding Dotson open forthree to get Belmont within 80-72 with 1:35 remaining.After going 2-for-24 from three-point range for the first 36minutes of the game, Dansby's ho-hum three-pointer atthe 3:39 mark ripped the lid off the Belmont basket. Onceagain Belmont would press and foul, and Hartley pro-ceeded to miss two free throws with 1:21 left. Renfroeraced to the basket and scored in a flash to get Belmontwithin 80-74 with 1:14 to go. After one Merthie free throwwith 1:11 left, Wicke ripped the nets again from behindthe arc to make the score 81-77 with 1:05 remaining. Aftera timeout and a foul in press defense, Dodson made oneof two free throws to give Campbell an 82-77 edge with 55seconds left. Dansby snatched a huge offensive reboundand was fouled on a putback attempt with 41 seconds left.He made both free throws to get Belmont within 82-79.After another Bruin foul, Hartley sank both free throwsto extend Campbell's lead to 84-79 with 40 secondsremaining. But Renfroe continued to be indefensible,weaving through the Camel defense and scoring whilebeing fouled by Rodriguez. Renfroe completed the three-point play to make the score 84-82 with 34 secondsremaining. After a near steal and jump-ball situation infront of the Bruin bench, a loose ball deflected across thecourt and possession was awarded to Campbell. Hartleythen threw a baseball pass down court against Belmontpressure without a Camel player nearby. The ball rolledout-of-bounds untouched and possession went to theBruins with 28 seconds to go. Belmont then freed Dotsonfor a baseline three-pointer, which he sank over recover-ing Campbell defense, to give the Bruins an 85-84 leadwith 21 seconds remaining; Belmont's first lead since 2-0.With both teams out of timeouts, Campbell raced the ballinto the frontcourt, with Merthie missing a contestedlayin attempt with 11 seconds left. A mad scramble for theloose ball rebound ensued with Belmont gaining posses-sion on the arrow. The Bruins got the ball to Wicke, whowas fouled with nine seconds left. He calmly sank bothfree throws to give Belmont an 87-84 lead. The Camelshad one final chance, but freshman Drew Hanlen defend-ed Amir Celestin well and his off-balance three-pointer atthe buzzer missed.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - In a Valentine's Day heart-stopper, Belmont Basketball received courageous perform-ances across the board in rallying past East TennesseeState Saturday night, 76-73. Despite early foul trouble onstarting forwards Jon House and Matthew Dotson,Belmont ended the first half strong. Defensive stops plusthe ultra-assertive offensive wizardry of Renfroe helpedthe Bruins close the half on a 17-7 run. A baseline three-pointer from Henry Harris sent Belmont to the lockerroom up two, 35-33. The seesaw affair - four ties and 12lead changes all told - continued into the second half.Kevin Tiggs scored eight consecutive points for ETSUduring one stretch to give the Bucs a 48-45 lead with 13:30to go. ETSU then got three-point plays from AdamSollazzo, Micah Williams and a bucket from Tiggs totake a 56-47 lead with 11:09 left. An offensive rebound put-back from House closed the deficit to 58-51 with 9:50remaining, but Tiggs continued to deliver offensively. Adriving layin gave ETSU its largest lead of 11, 64-53, with7:41 left. In desperate need of a spark, Belmont once againgot one from the gutsy Harris. Reminiscent of his deter-mined play against ETSU in the 2008 Atlantic SunTournament Semifinals, Harris followed two Hanlen freethrows with five quick points to get the Bruins within 64-60 with 6:28 left. Two Greg Hamlin free throws putETSU back up six before the Bruins ripped off nineunanswered points. Andy Wicke started the run with abackdoor layin before he fed House on a wing three-pointer to close the deficit to 66-65 with 4:52 left. After aRenfroe steal, House tipped home his own missed bankshot to put the Bruins on top, 67-66, with 4:23 left. Thenafter a rare Tiggs misfire, Shane Dansby capped the spurtwith a layin to put the Bruins up 69-66 with 3:43 to go.But Mike Smith scored four straight points to put ETSUback on top 70-69 with 2:33 left. Wicke responded with a17-foot jumper to give Belmont a 71-70 advantage with 2:23to go. In a game full of championship spirit and intensity,both teams produced fine play. After a long Pigrammissed trey, Sollazzo grabbed an offensive rebound andfed Pigram for a backdoor layin plus a Belmont foul. Theconventional three-point play gave the Bucs a 73-71 leadwith 1:54 left. The Bruins proceeded to free Dotson - whowas 1-for-7 from the field at the time - for a baselinethree-pointer which ripped the nets for a 74-73 lead with1:28 remaining. The Bruins then forced Tiggs into a con-tested baseline 10 footer which rimmed off. Housegrabbed the defensive rebound for Belmont. The teamfreed Wicke for a wing three-pointer with 20 seconds left,but it missed and ETSU was awarded possession whenthe ball caromed out of bounds. Trailing by one, the Bucspassed the ball around the perimeter before finding Tiggs,who drove the left side of the lane and kicked out toPigram. His contested three-pointer with seven secondsleft missed, and Hedgepeth grabbed a huge rebound intraffic for the Bruins. He was fouled with just over twoseconds remaining - the Bucs' ninth team foul of the sec-ond half. The freshman calmly sank both free throws togive the Bruins a 76-73 lead. Pigram's halfcourt shot at thebuzzer narrowly missed to the left.

February 16, 2009Curb Event Center - - Nashville, Tenn.USC Upstate Spartans 19 37 56Belmont Bruins 42 34 76

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Sparked by another virtuosoperformance from Alex Renfroe, Belmont Basketballdefeated USC Upstate Monday night, 76-56. Followingphysical contests against Lipscomb and East TennesseeState in the past four nights, the Bruins were wary of anemotional letdown against upstart Upstate - who had wonits three previous contests prior to arriving in Nashville.But Belmont came out with purpose and energy from theopening tip, holding the Spartans scoreless over the first4:09 of the game in building a 10-0 lead. A conventionalthree-point play from Bobby Davis got USC Upstatewithin 13-6 six and a half minutes in, but the Bruins wereundeterred. Four consecutive three-pointers - the last ofwhich supplied by an enthusiastic Renfroe - capped a 14-2run and gave the Bruins a 27-8 advantage with 7:22 left inthe half. Belmont played swarming, communicative half-court defense - forcing the Spartans into hurried field goalattempts which triggered the speedy Renfroe in the opencourt. Three more long range makes from Renfroe, AndyWicke and Matthew Dotson respectively sent Belmont tothe locker room with a commanding 42-19 lead. TheBruins shot 53 percent from the field in the opening 20minutes - including a red-hot 10-for-18 from three-pointterritory. Meanwhile, Belmont limited USC Upstate to 27percent shooting. The offensive rhythm continued intothe second half, with highlights coming from all angles.After a Renfroe reverse layin off a timely feed fromWicke, Dotson found Jon House on the break for an acro-batic conventional three-point play and a 56-24 Belmontlead with 16:30 left. The lead grew to 37, 64-27, with 12:09to go on a Renfroe teardrop. The Bruins were clicking onall cylinders and playing their best basketball of the sea-son. But just as the starters earned a breather and thereserves got their bearings, the Bruins went cold andUSC Upstate caught a second wind. Belmont made justone field goal over the next 10:18 as the Spartans went onan eye-opening 27-4 run. Aided by Bruin missed freethrows and atypical defensive breakdowns, NickSchneiders' short jumper got USC Upstate as close as 14,68-54, with 3:49 left. After one House free throw, Dansbyended the agonizing drought with a layin off a Renfroepass. Belmont would score eight straight points before aSchneiders tip-in closed the scoring.

February 20, 2009KSU Convocation Center - - Kennesaw, Ga.Belmont Bruins 26 28 54Kennesaw State Owls 18 21 39

KENNESAW, GA. - - In a game better served for theedit room floor than ESPN Classic, Belmont Basketballdefeated Kennesaw State Friday night, 54-39. KennesawState won the opening tip and scored on a Kurtis Woodsdunk just four seconds into the game. The play, coupledwith an offensive rebound by Spencer Dixon, promptedBelmont head coach Rick Byrd to go his bench 90 secondsinto the game. After missing their first four shotattempts, the Bruins finally got on the board on a three-pointer from Keaton Belcher to take a 3-2 lead. As was thecase in the teams' Jan. 24 meeting in Nashville, KennesawState elected to grind the game to a tortoise pace, workingeach possession under five seconds before eying the bas-ket. But solid Belmont defense kept the Owls off thescoreboard for nearly six minutes, allowing the Bruins totake a five point lead on a free throw from MickHedgepeth. A baseline three-pointer from MatthewDotson gave Belmont an 11-7 lead seven-plus minutes in.Moments later, Alex Renfroe stole the ball and broke freein the open court; but Renfroe's one-handed slam dunkattempt rattled out and the Bruins proceeded to go thenext five minutes scoreless. Two John Allison freethrows gave Kennesaw State a 16-14 lead with 5:43 in thehalf, before the Bruins ripped off a 12-0 run. Belcher keyedthe spurt, scoring seven straight points to put the Bruinsahead 26-16 with 53 seconds left in the half. An ArtieMarine tip-in sent Belmont to the locker room up eight,26-18. A Renfroe layin opened the second half scoring.Following a Spencer Dixon three-pointer, Belmont wenton a 14-3 run to take control. Five more Renfroe pointsand a free throw from Jon House stretched the lead to 42-24 with 10:08 remaining. Thought the Owls extended intofull court pressure, they were unable to find consistentoffense against the solid Bruin halfcourt defense.Nevertheless, Belmont's sloppy ball handling and poordecision-making in the frontcourt gave the Owls new life.A Dixon pullup jumper trimmed the Bruin lead to eight,42-34, with 6:20 left. But House and Dotson would answerwith tough interior baskets to push the lead back to 12. AKelvin McConnell jumpshot got Kennesaw State within46-38 with 3:59 to go, before Shane Dansby replied with atimely three-pointer. Andy Wicke added a wing three-pointer with 2:05 left, which provided the final margin.

MACON, GA. - - After scripting an inspired second-halfcomeback, Belmont Basketball stomached a nightmarishfinal three minutes in falling at Mercer Sunday after-noon, 89-83. An individual scoring exchange betweenAndy Wicke and Mercer's James Florence ensued. Wickemade four three-pointers in a three minute span whileFlorence scored 10 points in the first 10 minutes of thegame. Florence's 21 first-half points carried Mercer to a 41-36 halftime lead. Dansby continued his fine form early inthe second half, as his fourth three-pointer of the gamegot Belmont within 43-40 with 18:06 left. A fast breaklayin from Mick Hedgepeth on a feed from Drew Hanlengot the Bruins within 52-49 with 13:57 to go. But BrianMills and E.J. Kusnyer replied with three-pointers to hin-der the Bruin charge. With Belmont clamping down onFlorence and the offense producing open shots, the Bruinsforged ahead. Five straight points from Renfroe gaveBelmont a 64-62 lead with 8:15 left. But once more theBears replied with a three, this time Florence fromstraight on. As the seesaw contest pressed on, Renfroecontinued to attack the basket and score time and again.An offensive rebound by House and conventional three-point play by Renfroe gave Belmont a 72-69 edge with4:38 remaining. Two Renfroe free throws gave the Bruinsa 75-71 lead with 3:06 left; momentum and control wasseemingly in Belmont's favor. Then it all went awry.Mercer freed Kusyner for a wing three-pointer to cut theBruin lead to one, 75-74, with 2:50 to go. After breakingBears' pressure defense, senior Henry Harris had a passintercepted by Mills. Then as Mills passed off to guardMark Hall, Wicke gambled for a steal and was called fora reach-in foul. After making the first free throw to tiethe score at 75, Hall missed the second free throw. ButEmerson grabbed the offensive rebound to preserve theMercer possession. Hall then rimmed out a three-pointer,only to have the rebound deflect off of Dansby to give theBears yet another try. Mills was then fouled byHedgepeth on a difficult blocking call. Mills' two freethrows gave Mercer a 77-75 lead with 2:15 left. The Bruinsdrew up a textbook offensive play, with House feedingRenfroe for a backdoor attempt at the rim. But Renfroe'slayup attempt was blocked on aggressive helpside defensefrom Mills. With possession, Mercer turned to Florence,who scored a hanging leaner in the lane with 1:35 remain-ing to give the Bears a 79-75 lead. A Dotson pass was thentipped away, with Mills yet again Johnny-on-the-spot forthe steal. In need of a play, Renfroe appeared to steal theball away from Emerson near midcourt, but he was whis-tled for a reach-in foul. Emerson's two free throws pushedthe Mercer lead to six, 81-75, with 59 seconds to go. Afterone Renfroe free throw, the Bruins appeared to get a stealon an errant pass from Emerson. But a backpedalingHanlen lost his footing in trying to steal the waywardpass. The ball bounced right into Mills' hands on thepress break, who was then fouled by Harris. Mills andFlorence pushed the lead to 83-76 with 29 seconds left.Belmont got within four points three more times in thefinal 24 seconds, but simply ran out of time.

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Behind its sharpest first half ofthe season, Belmont Basketball defeated North FloridaThursday night, 87-49. In facing an Osprey squad riding athree-game winning streak, the Bruins came out focusedand energized. A darting layin from Alex Renfroe gaveBelmont a 9-0 lead less than two minutes into the game.Following two baskets from Eni Cuka, the Bruins wenton a 10-2 spurt over the next four minutes. Two interiorbaskets from Jon House and a layin from Shane Dansbyincreased the Belmont lead to 21-6 seven minutes in.Belmont's intense, communicative defense triggered opencourt opportunities with Renfroe delivering time andagain. Two Renfroe teardrops, a Dansby wing three-pointer, and a pullup jumper from Henry Harris stretchedthe margin to 23, 32-9, midway through the first half. Itwas vintage Belmont Basketball, with unselfish play lead-ing to clean looks for all. A flurry of three-pointers fromDansby, Andy Wicke, Keaton Belcher and Drew Hanlengave the Bruins a commanding 49-20 advantage with 3:48to go in the half. Two Renfroe free throws sent Belmontto the locker room up 31, 53-22. The Bruins shot 61 percent(19-for-31) from the floor in the opening 20 minutes -including 8-for-15 from three-point territory.

Alex Renfroe scored Belmont's final 12 points of thefirst half to get the Bruins within 40-29 at intermission.The Bruin deficit grew to 18 points, 47-29, with 17:03 lefton an Ayron Hardy layin, but the inspired play ofRenfroe led Belmont back. However, two consecutivecontested three-pointers by Ben Smith gave Jacksonville aseemingly insurmountable 64-54 lead with 2:25 to go. Butreminiscent of previous comeback efforts againstCampbell and ETSU this season, Belmont simply foughtonward. After a deep three-pointer from Wicke, Belmontforced a five second violation on Smith to gain back pos-session. Renfroe then raced to the basket and scored aconventional three-point play to trim the margin to four,64-60, with 1:12 left. Following two Smith free throws,Renfroe drew two free throws of his own and gotBelmont back within 66-62 with 1:05 left. The Bruinsforced a five second violation on the subsequentJacksonville inbounds pass. Byrd then drew up a play forDotson, who buried a straight on three-pointer to getBelmont within 66-65 with 1:02 to go. Belmont watched asSmith buried an off-balance leaner in the lane to give theDolphins a 68-65 lead with 31 seconds left. Tevin Galvinmade one free throw to extend the Jacksonville lead tofour with 19 seconds left. After Belcher tipped home aRenfroe miss to cut the deficit in half, the Bruins fouledGalvin with under seven seconds left. Galvin missed bothfree throws, which set the stage for Renfroe to drive thelength of the court and score at the rim with 0.8 secondsleft, forcing overtime 71-71. The energized Curb EventCenter crowd sensed another memorable Belmont victo-ry, especially after another Renfroe score to open theextra session gave the Bruins' their first lead in nearlytwo hours at 73-71. The teams traded scores before aRenfroe offensive rebound, and cross-court feed set upWicke for a wing three-pointer in front of the Bruinbench to give Belmont a 78-75 lead with 2:33 left. Afterone Lehmon Colbert free throw, Dotson had the ball slipout of his hands on a reversal pass. Smith stepped infront, raced downcourt, and scored to tie the score at 78.But Renfroe once again delivered, answering with a postmove basket to put Belmont ahead 80-78 with 1:21 left.The Bruins then forced a Smith miss, but Dansby wascalled for an off-the-ball foul on Allen in pursuit of therebound. Allen made two free throws to tie the score oncemore at 80 with 1:00 left in overtime. The Bruins ran abackdoor play to Jon House, who made an acrobatic catchof a Wicke pass, spun, and was fouled at the rim. Housecalmly sank both free throws to put Belmont back ahead,82-80, with 47 seconds left in overtime. Jacksonville thentried to free Smith, who passed to the top of the key toAllen - 6-for-27 from three-point range on the seasonentering the day - and he sank a three-pointer with 35 sec-onds left to give Jacksonville an 83-82 lead. Belmontturned to the ever-productive Renfroe, but Jacksonvilledouble-teamed him at midcourt, Renfroe passed to anopen House, who drove the lane and found Wicke crosscourt open for a shot. But Hardy closed late, contested theattempt and Wicke's baseline 15-footer with 15 secondsleft rimmed off. Belmont had difficulty fouling Dolphinball handlers, with Harris ultimately fouling Hardy withsix seconds left. Hardy subsequently made one of twofree throws to bump the score to 84-82. On Belmont'sfinal chance, Smith poked the ball free of Renfroe andWicke's off-balance 30 footer at the horn rimmed off.

March 5, 2009Allen Arena - - Nashville, Tenn.Mercer Bears 33 31 64Belmont Bruins 41 24 65

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Freshman Mick Hedgepethscored an offensive rebound putback basket with 0.2 sec-onds remaining to lift Belmont Basketball to a dramatic65-64 victory over Mercer in the Atlantic SunTournament Quarterfinals Thursday afternoon.Consecutive baskets from Renfroe, Shane Dansby andAndy Wicke stretched the Bruin edge to 13, 31-18, midwaythrough the first half. Swarming Mercer post man DanielEmerson and forcing contested perimeter shots, theBruins turned sound defense into offense. Truly playingone of its finest first halves in recent memory, Belmontseized a 39-25 lead with 3:58 in the half on a floater fromRenfroe. But after a blocking foul on Jon House pro-longed the Bears' final possession, Florence sank a fade-away three-pointer at the buzzer to get Mercer within 41-33 at the break. The Bruins missed their first six shots outof the locker room, allowing the Bears to inch within 43-41 on another Kusnyer triple. But a 9-0 Belmont run,sparked by the long distance shooting of Keaton Belcher,enabled the Bruins to increase their lead back to 11, 57-46,with 13:46 to go. Yet after a short bank shot from Dotsongave Belmont a 59-48 advantage with 10:47 left - muchlike a scene from the show Lost - the Bruins were inexpli-cably transported to the land of missed shots. The lid onBelmont's basket was seemingly slammed shut - withinterior shots and clean three-point looks alike rimmingoff. With Wicke and Belcher each nursing four fouls andthe Mercer defense clamping down on Renfroe, the Bruinlead slowly dwindled. Florence's short jumper tied thescore at 60 with 5:26 remaining. Then after two missedfree throws from House and two other empty posses-sions, Daniel Emerson's dunk with 2:31 left gave the Bearstheir first lead of the game, 62-60. After one Renfroe freethrow and an exchange of defensive stops, Renfroeclaimed a defensive rebound, raced into the frontcourtand found Wicke open for three in front of the Bruinbench. But like so many Belmont shots in the second half,the senior sharpshooter's attempt rimmed off. OnMercer's next possession, Renfroe blocked a Mark Hallshot to give the ball back to Belmont. Following a time-out, Renfroe - the Atlantic Sun Conference Player of theYear - darted through the Mercer defense and scored atthe rim with 32 seconds left to give Belmont a 63-62 lead.After the Bruins reinserted Henry Harris for his defen-sive prowess, Florence banked home a leaning shot in thelane with nine seconds left to put Mercer up one, 64-63.Belmont head coach Rick Byrd elected to play thesequence out, not calling timeout to substitute Renfroeback into the game. Wicke drove the lane and had his 10footer partially blocked by Hall. But with timing windingdown, Hedgepeth corralled the loose ball rebound, pow-ered up, and banked home the offensive rebound basketwith 0.2 seconds remaining. Mercer was unable to get afinal shot off before the horn sounded.

March 6, 2009Allen Arena - - Nashville, Tenn.Belmont Bruins 29 45 74ETSU Buccaneers 34 54 88

NASHVILLE, TENN. - - Belmont Basketball's remark-able streak of 10 consecutive Atlantic Sun Tournamentvictories and three consecutive Atlantic Sun TournamentChampionships came to an end Friday night, as EastTennessee State rode a 16-4 run to close the game indefeating the valiant Bruins, 88-74, in the conferencesemifinals. Jon House gave the Bruins a spark by attack-ing the basket on Buc reserves. Yet, with Renfroe nursingfouls and House picking up his third personal with sixminutes left in the half, ETSU slowly pulled ahead. Twodeep, contested three-pointers from Courtney Pigramgave the Bucs a 34-24 lead with 1:54 left in the half. But aquick reply from long distance from Wicke and a back-door layin from Dansby before the first half horn gotBelmont within 34-29 at the break. Mike Smith's pullupjumper capped an 8-0 ETSU run to open the half anddeepened Belmont's deficit to 42-29 with 17:43 to go. Aftera Rick Byrd timeout, the Bruins responded strongly, asback-to-back three-pointers from Renfroe and Wicke gotBelmont within 44-42 with 14:19 left. But a Greg Hamlinlayin and a steal and driving basket from Pigramincreased the margin back to six. After some offensivestruggles in the first half, the Bruins systematically brokedown the ETSU defense for high percentage shots formuch of the second half. A Renfroe offensive reboundbasket got Belmont within 49-46 with 12:36 left. But a keyHamlin offensive rebound basket of his own and threeETSU free throws bumped the margin back to eight.Belcher replied with a two-handed slam, before a twistinginterior basket from Tommy Hubbard upped the leadback to 56-48 with 11:41 left. Following a layin fromMatthew Dotson, Smith hit two free throws andHubbard scored from close range to extend the lead backto 60-50 with 9:34 left. Yet the Bruins fought on. Three-pointers from Dansby and Wicke trimmed the margin tofour, 62-58, with 7:54 left. The back-and-forth action andcorresponding crowd support was truly befitting postsea-son play. However, after Wicke nearly came away with asteal late in the shot clock, Pigram recovered and buriedan off-balance three-pointer to put ETSU back up seven.Then after an empty Belmont trip, Isiah Brown converteda conventional three-point play off a Tiggs feed to put theBucs up 10, 68-58, with 6:53 to go. But the Bruin seniorshad far too much pride to pack it in. Two more Dansbytriples sandwiched around a Wicke basket got the Bruinswithin 72-70 - their closest since 24-22 - with 3:01 left.With Belmont mixing in matchup zone defense, ETSUturned to Tiggs, who scored along the baseline to make it74-70 with 2:35 left. After a Dansby baseline three-pointerrimmed off, Hubbard made one free throw to increase thelead to five. Belmont then freed Belcher for a clean three-point look, but like Dansby's moments earlier, it justrimmed off. Pigram and Mike Smith combined for sixfree throws to cap a 9-0 ETSU run to give the Bucs an 81-70 lead with 1:08 left.

March 18, 2009Roberts Stadium - - Evansville, Ind.Belmont Bruins 49 43 92Evansville Purple Aces 35 41 76

EVANSVILLE, IND. - - Behind 29 points from AlexRenfroe, a career-high 15 points from freshman JonnyRice, and a season-high 17 three-point field goals, BelmontBasketball defeated Evansville Wednesday night, 92-76,in the first round of the inaugural CollegeInsider.comPostseason Tournament. The game marked Belmont'sfifth postseason appearance in the last six years. Yet, vic-tory at the seasoned and tough-minded Purple Acesshaped up to be a tall order as Evansville entered thenight with a 15-3 home record. It was advertised as ameeting between two of the most electrifying offensiveplayers at the mid major level - Belmont's Alex Renfroeand Evansville's Shy Ely. And each player more thanlived up to advanced billing. In fact, Ely scored fivestraight baskets in the first 3:41 of the game to give thehosts an early two point lead. Trailing 12-11, and withAndy Wicke and sophomore Jon House in early foultrouble, the Bruins received one of top performances ofthe season off the bench in the form of Rice. Eight quickpoints from Rice highlighted a 22-4 Bruin run as Belmontseized a 33-16 lead midway through the first half. Rice'senergy and shooting touch proved contagious, asMatthew Dotson and Keaton Belcher followed suit fromlong range before an awestruck Evansville crowd. Despiteseeing his team strapped in foul trouble - Evansvilleworked its way into the bonus eight minutes into the half- Belmont head coach Rick Byrd went deep into his benchand found production at every turn. When Renfroe foundMike Dejworek for a transition layin, the Bruin leadswelled to 21, 44-23, with 4:52 in the half. After Evansvilleanswered with a 9-0 run, Rice drilled a stepback baselinejumper while being fouled to stem the tide. A Renfroetrey sent Belmont to the locker room up 14, 49-35. Twoquick triples from Dotson and Renfroe to open the secondhalf extended the Bruin lead to 17, 55-38, with 18:05 left,before Evansville made its biggest push of the night. Again working its way into the bonus less than eightminutes into the half, the Purple Aces rode Ely on a 13-3run to get within 58-51 with 10:39 remaining. With thevocal Roberts Stadium crowd imploring Evansville tocarry on, Belmont stayed tough. A pick-and-pop three-pointer from Dotson and a short jumper from ShaneDansby stretched Belmont's lead back to 12, 63-51, with9:31 to go. Evansville would get within eight once more,but the combination of tough defensive rebounding byMick Hedgepeth and dead-eye Bruin shooting sealed thedeal. Rice, Dotson, and Renfroe each made three-pointersin a two minute span to carry Belmont to a 78-63 leadwith 3:21 to go. All told, Belmont shot 53 percent (31-for-59) from the field - including a season-best 17-for-35 fromthree-point distance. The Bruins' 92 points tied a season-high (at Florida Gulf Coast Jan. 31, and the team recorded23 assists on its 31 made field goals. Renfroe was sensa-tional, with 29 points - the most against Evansville thisseason - nine rebounds and five assists. Rice had a career-high 15 points, while Dotson added 14. Dansby also wentover 1,000 career points with his 13 on the night.

March 23, 2009Constant Convocation Center - - Norfolk, Va.Belmont Bruins 34 28 62Old Dominion Monarchs 30 40 70

NORFOLK, VA - - Old Dominion rallied to defeatBelmont in the CollegeInsider.com PostseasonTournament Quarterfinals, 70-62, Monday night. AtlanticSun Player of the Year Alex Renfroe picked up his secondpersonal foul at the 16:33 mark of the first half, forcinghim to the bench. Shane Dansby strung together threestraight three-pointers to lift Belmont to a 24-18 edge.Two free throws right before intermission by Renfroecarried the Bruins into the locker room up four, 34-30.Four interiors baskets quickly out of the locker roomhelped Old Dominion score eight of the first 10 points ofthe second half. But following a Rick Byrd timeout,Belmont settled in a reestablished itself. Renfroe andMick Hedgepeth combined for nine points during a 12-0Belmont run that lifted the Bruins to their largest lead of10, 48-38, with 14:!3 to go. Yet after forcing the Monarchsto the perimeter and swarming the ODU post game,Belmont watched Old Dominion catch fire. After missingits first 11 three-point attempts, Old Dominion got con-secutive three-pointers from Darius James to slice theBelmont lead to 48-44 with 13:20 left. Keaton Belcheranswered for Belmont with a three-pointer over theMonarch zone to extend the margin back to seven, 51-44,with 12:07 left. From there, the Bruins went ice cold.Despite clean looks against the Old Dominion zone,Belmont made just one field goal over the next six and ahalf minutes. That set the stage for a familiar face to stealthe show. Monarch reserve Jonathan Adams - a swing-man from the Baylor School in Chattanooga who playedAAU ball with several of Belmont's upperclassmen - sanka three-pointer to give Old Dominion a 55-54 lead with6:51 left. Following a Kent Bazemore layin, Wicke sank adeep three-pointer in transition off a nice Renfroe feed totie the score at 57 with 4:37 remaining. One free throwfrom Jon House gave Belmont a 58-57 edge with 3:45 to go- unfortunately, the team's final lead of the game. Adamsanswered with a contested pullup jumper - and after aDansby missed baseline three-pointer - and a trey to givethe Monarchs a 62-58 lead with 2:54 left. Dotson thenmissed a clean look on Belmont's next possession.Following a rare Adams misfire, Ben Finney saved anoffensive rebound on the baseline. James and Renfroe bat-tled for the loose ball in front of the press table beforeFrank Hassell found Lee for an uncontested layin, givingthe Monarchs a 64-58 lead with 2:00 left. Hedgepethreplied with a confident - albeit unexpected - baselinethree-pointer to cut the margin in half, 64-61, with 1:36left. But in need of a defensive stop, the Bruins watchedin horror as Adams - a 27 percent three-point shooter onthe season - buried his third triple at the end of the shotclock, lifting Old Dominion to a 67-61 lead with 1:03 to go.After one Hedgepeth free throw, Adams missed the frontend of an ODU one-and-one to give the Bruins' new life.But Dotson missed a three-point attempt and Dansby'soffensive rebound tip-in attempt rimmed out. Adamsmade one free throw with 22 seconds to go to extend theMonarch lead to six. A Belmont giveaway and twoFinney free throws ended the scoring - what proved to beOld Dominion's largest lead of the game.

December 30, 2003Hearnes Center - - Columbia, Mo.Belmont Bruins 33 38 71#22 Missouri Tigers 34 33 67

COLUMBIA, Mo. - Belmont Basketball scored the biggest victory in program history, knocking off perennialBig 12 power and 22nd-ranked Missouri, 71-67, Tuesday night.

Belmont scored the first five points out of halftime, extending their first hald spurt to 17-3 and seizing a fivepoint edge. The Bruins hit five of their 13 three-pointers during the run. After surrendering the lead 16 secondsinto the second half, Missouri led under three minutes of the second half as BU executed flawlessly.

After Adam Mark scored from close range with 10:45 remaining to give BU a 47-45 lead, Missouri never ledagain. The Mark score sparked a 12-0 Belmont run which extended the margin to double figures.

A Jason Conley free throw tied the score once again at 59-59 with 3:29 left, before Belmont scored five unan-swered on a short jumper from Jese Snyder and a three-pointer from Steve Drabyn.

The Tigers got within three points twice more, before a clutch three-pointer from Josh Goodwin and a pair ofDrabyn free throws kept Missouri at bay.

A Ricky Paulding three-pointer with 13 seconds remaining got the Tigers within 69-67. Missouri proceeded tofoul Drabyn, one of the top free throw shooters in the country.

Surprisingly, Drabyn missed the front end of a one-and-one, but Mark snared the offensive rebound and passedthe ball back to Drabyn. He was fouled again, and would make both free throws in the final seconds to seal theoutcome.

It was the Bruins’ first victory over a Top-25 opponent in its sixth try. Belmont improved to 6-3, capping a glori-ous non-conference season.

Missouri would have five members of its roster go on to play in the NBA.

BRUIN FLASHBACK

March 4, 2006Atlantic Sun ChampionshipMemorial Center - - Johnson City, Tenn.#1 Lipscomb Bisons 31 27 11 69#2 Belmont Bruins 31 27 16 74

JOHNSON CITY, TENN. - - Belmont and Lipscomb had waged many epic basketball battles, but the 113thinstallment of their storied rivalry had the largest stakes imaginable. With an Atlantic Sun Championship and anNCAA Tournament berth on the table, the Bruins used courageous defense and the determined scoring of anunflappable sophomore to claim the tastiest pot in school history. Justin Hare's career-high 32 points spearheadedthe Bruins' come-from-behind, 74-69 overtime victory over Lipscomb and cemented Belmont's place in MarchMadness.

Having ridden stellar perimeter shooting in victories over Campbell and Stetson to reach the final, Belmont usedLipscomb's hawking denial defense to its benefit by driving to the basket early on.

Two point blank buckets from senior co-captain Brian Collins and a timely lay-in from senior co-captain DanOliver got the Bruins off to an 8-2 lead.

Lipscomb responded with a slam from Shaun Durant, but Belmont's switching of man-and-zone defense clearlyslowed the Bisons' athletic perimeter players. Meanwhile, the Bruins continued to attack the rack. Two freethrows from junior Andrew Preston and a jumper from Hare widened the Belmont bulge to ten, 16-6, just over sixminutes in.

But the Bisons responded in kind; a lay-in from Alabama transfer LaKory Daniels capped a 12-2 Lipscomb spurtand nodded the score at 18 midway through the half. In keeping with their two intense meetings this season, theteams were exerting tremendous effort on each and every possession.

Though Lipscomb's defense began to stifle the Bruins' rhythm, Belmont was able to keep the top-seed at arm'slength. The lead oscillated from one to four points for the remainder of the half, with Belmont riding solid playfrom Collins, Hare, and Preston.

Following two Hare free throws with seven seconds in the half, Daniels sank a three-pointer as time expired tosquare the score at 31-31. While Daniels' 11 points led the Bisons, Belmont held All Atlantic Sun performer BrianFisk scoreless in the first twenty minutes.

Meanwhile, Belmont was an efficient 10-for-20 from the floor in the first half, though starting center BoomerHerndon went without a field goal (0-for-4). Lipscomb made an inspired push to open the second half. A baselinejumper from Eddie Ard gave LU a 39-34 edge two minutes into the half.

But gutsy interior play from Preston on both ends and a quick five points from junior Josh Goodwin sparked a 9-2Bruin run and saw BU regain the lead, 43-41, with 13:51 to go.

However, with Herndon struggling to find his range down low and clean three-point look scant, Lipscombregained control. Daniels and Ard sparked Lipscomb to a 53-47 advantage with 6:34 left, and the Bruins were stern-ly confronted with their basketball mortality.

With urging from the Bruin support section, Belmont's seasoned guards led the comeback effort. After three freethrows from Goodwin, a Collins backtap steal to Hare and lay-in pulled BU within one, 53-52, with 6:05 remain-ing.

Then after one free throw from Preston, Hare weaved through the Bisons' defense and finished with a left hand toput Belmont ahead 55-53 at the 3:59 mark. Two Fisk free throws tied the score once again, and the respectivedefenses hunkered down.

Neither team could muster points until traditional Bruin-killer James Poindexter buried a baseline three-pointerwith 29 seconds to go to give LU a 58-55 lead. In need of a season-saving play, Hare delivered. He drove down theright side of the lane and banked home an off-balance shot over a fouling Fisk. The conventional three-point playtied the score at 58 with 20 seconds left. Fisk missed a jumper with time winding down and the contest fittinglywent to overtime.

Unlike their earlier 97-85 overtime loss at Lipscomb - the Bruins stormed out of the gates in the extra five minutesand would never trail A short banker from Herndon and a drive from Hare gave BU a 62-58 edge with 3:59 to go,and the Bruin faithful started to smell victory. But a lay-in from Durant and two Trey Williams free throws onceagain nodded the score at 62.

Moments after the free throws, Belmont raced into a designed play and it reaped dividends. A backdoor feed fromWicke to Hare put the Bruins ahead, 64-62, with 3:03 left. Then after a missed Williams jump shot against theBelmont zone, Collins skied and tipped home a Preston turnaround to give Belmont a 66-62 edge with 1:52 to go.

Following one Williams free throw, Hare returned the favor a dropped a backdoor bounce pass to Wicke for twoand the Bruins suddenly enjoyed a 68-63 cushion. A Poindexter three-pointer trimmed the margin to two, butHare would not let the Bruins' season end in Johnson City. The 6-3 guard calmly sank six consecutive free throwsin the final 41 seconds to send Belmont into delirium.

Hare - who opened the campaign with a 9-for-10, 30 point outburst against Wright State - simply saved his best forlast. His career-high 32 points came on 10-for-15 shooting from the floor, and 9-for-9 from the free throw line. With a steely look in his eye and ice water in his veins, Hare provided one of the greatest single-game perform-ances in Belmont and Atlantic Sun Conference history.

Collins, Goodwin, and Preston each scored 10 points.

The Bruins, who led the Atlantic Sun and ranked third nationally in field goal percentage entering the day - shotan exemplary 50 percent from the floor (25-for-50) against the highly-regarded Bisons' defense. Moreover, theywon despite a season-low four three-pointers (4-for-12).

Ard led Lipscomb (21-10, 15-5) with 19 points.

NAIA ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

NAIA HALL of FAMEIn the last few years, a pair of Belmont’s most recognizable basketball figures have been selected to theNAIA Hall of Fame. In March of 2003, all-time leading scorer Joe Behling was inducted to the selectgroup and the following March, head coach Rick Byrd joined his protege in the NAIA Hall of Fame.

"If anyone is an NAIA Hall of Famer, Joe Behling is," said Byrd. "He is the most significant player inBelmont basketball history, and it is really nice to see good guys rewarded for hard work. Being induct-ed into a national Hall of Fame is a tremendous honor."

In his final three seasons, Behling became the onlyBelmont player to be a three-time NAIA All-American,earning that honor in 1988, 1989 and 1990. He was namedthe NAIA's Player of the Year after leading Belmont toits first NAIA national tournament appearance and shat-tering the school's single season scoring record by pour-ing in 1071 points in 1989. He finished his career asBelmont's all-time leading scorer with a nearly unreach-able 2823 points in just three years of regular playing time.

During 15 years of NAIA competition, Byrd posted a 367-152 record including a 197-40 markin conference play.

“You could say it’s way overdue,” said Don Meyer, a former coach a Lipscomb Universitywho competed against Byrd for 13 seasons and is also an NAIA Hall of Famer. “He was probably the best coach we ever played against onspecial situations and late-game situations.”

With a group of five freshmen and just one returner, the 1996-97 Belmont Bruins tackled their first season as a Division I provisional mem-ber. Belmont went on to post their 10th consecutive winning season, finishing the year 15-11 overall. The core group of freshmen also madeup key components of the 1998-99 squad that went 14-13, earning a winning record in only their second season of full Division I play. Threeof those players (Jeremy Kees, Ryan Steger and Dougie Webb) would go on to score 1,000 career points.

ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME

ROBERTBARNES • #15

1953-1956

Belmont retired #15 in honor of

Robert Barnes on February 20, 1993.

One of the first dominant presences

in program history, Barnes ranks third

on Belmont’s all-time scoring list with

2,305 career points. He holds the school

record for career scoring average (28.1),

career free throws made (741) and free

throws made in a season (301).

Moreover, his 301 free throws in 1955 led

the nation. Also a tremendous rebound-

er, Barnes is second on the Belmont

career rebounding average list (13.7).

Barnes was the first Volunteer State Athletic Conference Player of

the Year and was an NCAA honorable mention All-America selec-

tion in 1956. He ranked fourth nationally in scoring as a sophomore

and sixth nationally as a junior.

JOE BEHLING •#54

1986-1990

Belmont retired #54 in honorof Joe Behling on April 19, 1990.

Joe Behling began his Belmontcareer inconspicuously as a walk-onfrom Hillwood High School wherehe played one year of basketball.After redshirting his first season andseeing action in only nine games as afreshman, there was no way toanticipate the legacy he would leave.He is the only Belmont player to bea three-time NAIA All-American,earning that honor in 1988, 1989, and

1990. He was named the NAIA's Player of the Year after leadingBelmont to its first NAIA national tournament appearance and shat-tering the school's single season scoring record by pouring in 1071points in 1989.

Behling would finish his career as Belmont's all-time leading scor-er with a remarkable 2,823 points in just three years of regular playingtime. His 31.5 points per game average and 58 point effort againstarchrival David Lipscomb on March 4, 1989 are two records likely tostand in the annals of BU Basketball. In all, Behling is currently inthe top-10 in 18 different single season and career records. In April of1990, he became only the second player in Belmont history to have hisnumber retired and later that year, was named Tennessee's AmateurAthlete of the Year. Following his graduation in 1990 with a B.S. inExercise Science, Behling played professionally in Buenos Aires,Argentina and Mont de Marsan, France before returning home for astint with Grand Rapids of the CBA when a knee injury ended his procareer.

In March of 2003, Behling became the first Belmont athlete ever tobe inducted into the NAIA Hall of Fame.

winning teams and distinguished student-ath-letes. Since arriving in Nashville in 1996, Strickland has overseenthe inception of six new sports at Belmont: women's soccer,women's golf and men's and women's indoor and outdoor track andfield. In addition, the University has built the Frances Bond DavisTennis Courts and the Whitten Soccer Complex, as well the mostrecent partnership with Metro Parks for athletic fields at Rose Park.This exciting new venture will house Belmont baseball, softball,soccer, and track & field. Two of the most important achievementsof his tenure at Belmont are the acceptance of Belmont into theAtlantic Sun Conference and the opening of the Curb EventCenter. During his tenure, Strickland has overseen a programexpansion from 11 to 17 teams of competition, spearheaded member-ship into the Atlantic Sun Conference, spurred athletic facilityenhancement and forged a reputation of producing winning teamsand distinguished student-athletes. In 2008, Belmont became thefirst school in Atlantic Sun Conference history to represent theleague in three consecutive NCAA Men's BasketballChampionships.
